HYDRO1 in Lesvos, Greece

This is part of a series of Videos-Films demonstrating the Technologies and the Nature-Based Solutions developed in three mediterranean islands (Lesvos, Mykonos, Tinos) enabling circularity and sustainability for water and resource management.

HYDRO1 in Antissa Lesvos, consists of a sewage treatment system applied in decentralized areas with high seasonal loads.The demo site treats the domestic wastewater of the village's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).

HYDRO1 combines anaerobic processes with constructed wetlands and disinfection to treat domestic wastewater as a completely circular solution where water, nutrias and the produced sludge are reused. Furthermore, the anaerobic process recovers energy in the form of biogas, which is then upgraded to produce high purity methane used to fuel local vehicles.
