AGAMED is undertaking a significant project in Torrevieja with the installation of three state-of-the-art hydrodynamic separators at the city’s port. This ambitious initiative represents an investment of three point nine million euros and marks the largest deployment of such technology in the entire Levante region of Spain. The separators are expected to be operational by next week, playing a crucial role in improving water quality and safeguarding the marine environment.

These hydrodynamic separators will facilitate effective treatment of rainwater, removing floating debris, sediments, and hydrocarbons. This advancement will help preserve the coastal waters of Torrevieja, enhancing the quality of water entering the sea. Furthermore, the project will increase the city’s capacity to manage heavy rainfall and protect new urban infrastructures, such as the planned Paseo del Mar Leisure Centre, thereby guaranteeing sustainable development.

The system features innovative technology in sustainable management of urban rainwater. The separators will connect to a new rainwater collector designed for optimal water treatment prior to discharge into the sea. This infrastructure includes an inlet collector with a diameter of three thousand millimetres and an outlet collector of one thousand millimetres, effectively directing treated water to the discharge point while ensuring efficient treatment processes.

This initiative underscores Torrevieja’s commitment to environmental sustainability, enhancing not only the water quality but also the appeal of the city’s beaches to tourists seeking a natural and protected environment. With these measures, Torrevieja strengthens its positioning as an eco-friendly destination.
