Use of compact plants for wastewater reuse: a scalable pathway for incorporating non-conventional water
Water reuse has become a strategic resource in water-stressed regions, yet volumes across the EU remain far below technical potential. Spain leads in regulatory maturity, reinforced by Regulation (EU) 2020/741 and RD 1085/2024, which introduces a risk-based approach and distinguishes wastewater treatment from water reclamation. In this context, compact and modular plants offer a scalable, affordable and fast-deployment solution.
