SEACURE reaches new milestone in the Mar Menor with technology to remove nitrates from agricultural waters
SEACURE reaches a new demonstration milestone as BIOBOX, a biological denitrification technology, begins operations to remove nitrates from agricultural runoff before they reach the Mar Menor, Europe’s largest hypersaline coastal lagoon. The SEACURE project has reached a major milestone in the Mar Menor lagoon (Spain) with the deployment of an innovative nitrate-removal technology designed to intercept nitrates from agricultural waters before they reach one of the Mediterranean’s most ecologically valuable and vulnerable coastal ecosystems. Installed at the Los Alcázares Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the Region of Murcia, the pilot constitutes SEACURE DEMO#1, led by INGEOBRAS in collaboration with CETENMA. […]
