ACCIONA manages the contract to operate, maintain and conserve the wastewater treatment plant of Mairena and El Viso del Alcor. This WWTP - built by the ACCIONA-SANDO joint venture in 2004 and operated by ACCIONA at various stages - has a design flow of 9,220 m3/day and is designed to serve a population equivalent of 41,000 inhabitants.

Among the new features included in the contract is the implementation of a photovoltaic plant that will cover around 30% of the energy consumption of the facilities with renewable energy, as well as the installation of a new centrifugal decanter and an overflow control system equipped with a screening system. In addition, among other efficiency improvements, ACCIONA has included in its bid the implementation of an intelligent system, developed in-house, to control the aeration of the biological process called Biocontrol-Carr®. Its use will result in additional savings in the supply of oxygen to the biological treatment.
