Improved efficiency at a Mexican treatment plant for tannery wastewater
The ‘Champion City for Water ’ is what León in Mexico has been entitled to call
itself since the World Water Forum 2012. The industrial city received this honour
in the category ‘Wastewater treatment’. This is in no small part due to the plant
builder Fypasa, which operates a purification plant for tannery wastewater in
León. Festo project engineers have ensured the efficiency and reliability of the
plant, which operates over several levels of the automation pyramid.
