Cetaqua's two pilot plants at Águilas and Cabezo Beaza wastewater treatment facilities aim to recover more than 80% of nitrogen and 30-45% of phosphorus from urban wastewater. The facilities employ distinct technologies: the Águilas plant focuses on nitrogen recovery through a bioreactor and advanced filtration processes to produce nitrogen-rich reclaimed water, while the Cabezo Beaza facility targets phosphorus recovery by precipitating struvite from sludge.
Funded by Horizon Europe, the NPower project will run from 2025 to 2028, evaluating six technological solutions and producing eight fertilizers for agricultural use. The outcomes may offer scalable solutions for nutrient recovery, enhancing sustainability across Europe.
