The treatment that is good for the land and its productivity
How to deal efficiently and rationally with water management issues? In agriculture, one answer is immediately obvious: the treatment and reuse of the blue resource, which is used elsewhere and often wasted. Some technologies, such as free-fiber cloth filters, support the achievement of this goal.
Here is a classic area where wastewater reuse is a huge benefit to the economy and the environment: agriculture.
From floods to droughts, a number of global weather events have highlighted in recent years how problematic water management, recycling, and storage is. In particular, agriculture is one of the most freshwater-consuming sectors in the world, and the protection of this resource (along with its rational management, from a landscape architecture perspective) has become crucial.
European legislation is providing a good framework for the reuse of water for irrigation purposes.
There is no doubt that wastewater reuse for agriculture will continue to grow in the coming years, with a focus on criteria to implement it. And of course, the technologies to implement this already exist.

For the reuse of water for irrigation purposes, MITA Water Technologies proposes a highly efficient solution: pile cloth filters (or “free-fiber cloth filters”).
The removal of suspended solids operated by this tertiary filtration system is about 5 mg/l: percentages that make the water treated by this technology useful for a very wide range of crops.
It should be pointed out that there are some exceptions: for example, vegetable cultivation is not allowed with water containing these ranges of suspended solids (at least not according to current European regulations). However, it remains a very wide and growing area of application.
It is one of the largest tertiary filtration systems in Europe: the MITA supply for the vast Cuma water treatment plant near Naples, having a treatment capacity of 1,200,000 population equivalents. The goal of the project was to improve the plant's purification performance.

The Lodi sewage treatment plant, which has been in operation since the 1980s, needed upgrading and the addition of a tertiary filtration system: for the latter objective, MITA Water Technologies supplied 3 cloth filters of 28 discs each (in two successive batches) between 2015 and 2017.
