A multi-purpose plant with an annual capacity of over 120,000 tonnes Ambiente Energia plant, with an annual capacity of more than 120,000 tonnes, thanks to state-of-the-art technological equipment, treats numerous types of liquid and sludge waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous, such as, for example, water from painting and washing, acids and bases, and water from chemical-physical treatments. Its services are thus completely designed for the industrial districts of the Veneto region, including the textile, tanning, engineering and eyewear industries. The purification plant, which returns water to surface waters after treatment, has 41 storage tanks, a wastewater treatment line (both chemical-physical and biological) and a sludge treatment line.
