Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia will design and implement the industrial effluent treatment plant for Arauco's US$4.6 billion Sucuriú pulp mill in Inocência, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant will be capable of treating 10,600 cubic meters of wastewater per hour. Veolia says the organic load is equivalent to that of a municipality of 3 million inhabitants. It will use its biofilm activated sludge process, which aims to maximize treatment capacity within a compact footprint, ahead of the mill's expected late 2027 start of operations.

  • 01The plant will treat 10,600 cubic meters an hour at a 3.5 million-tonnes-a-year mill, with wording that suggests a reference design for next-generation builds.
  • 02Veolia’s design targets a compact footprint and includes belt presses to dewater sludge, making sludge handling part of the treatment system.
