Case Study: Mexican Project Combines Industrial And Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Salamanca, Mexico, a city of 500,000 people 130 miles northwest of Mexico City, faced a major wastewater dilemma. The city had to have a new municipal treatment facility to assure water safety and to manage its environmental responsibilities. The biggest industrial asset of the city is an oil refinery, which is also a source of large volumes of wastewater each year.
