By making use of this solution, it is possible to develop in areas where there is no infrastructure. This is a perfect solution for bringing sanitation to all schools, reducing potable water demand in the urban edge (domestic, commercial and industrial) and bringing new opportunities through the re-use of the treated effluent.
