The Baiña WWTP is designed to treat the discharges of a population equivalent of 86,500 inhabitants, with a maximum instantaneous pre-treatment capacity of 2,400 l/s.

It also has biological treatment by means of prolonged aeration and biological nitrogen elimination with a maximum capacity of 700 l/s. The facilities are complemented by a water reuse system for irrigation and industrial washing, a sludge line designed for sludge dewatering by means of filter presses, and a chemical deodorisation system with an air renewal capacity of 29,000 m3/hour.

It has a primary treatment system with three 30-metre diameter circular decanters with a maximum instantaneous capacity of 1,600 l/s, two of which can operate as a storm tank.
