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.
In 2018, MITA Water Technologies partnered with Suez Water Treatment to supply a tertiary filtration system to the Cuma sewage treatment plant, located in the province of Naples. This plant, operated by Cuma Scarl, represents one of the largest tertiary filtration systems in Europe.
The solution proposed by MITA Water Technologies was the supply of 16 disc filters model MSF 32/160 PPC FHD. These filters were chosen as an upgrade from the previous 24 cloth filters model 28/140 PPC FHD initially proposed. The 16 disc filters were installed in concrete tanks within the plant’s tertiary filtration compartment.
Thanks to the implementation of the tertiary filtration system with disc filters from MITA Water Technologies, the Cuma treatment plant achieved significant results. The customer’s requirements, which included the reduction of suspended solids for effluent refinement before discharge to surface water, were successfully met. In addition, the total suspended solids (SST) output was reduced to less than 5 mg/l, ensuring high quality treated water.
The solution provided by MITA Water Technologies was supported by comprehensive services, including transportation, installation assistance, testing, and start-up of the plant. The perseverance and determination demonstrated during the contracting stages with the client were key to the success of this project.

A solution for high filtration yields and efficient handling and backwashing, with only two pumps for the whole system: the PPC and PPC VM disc filters are for concrete or metal tank, respectively. Versatility and little ancillary work required for operation.
In this area, contractors and engineering firms contacted by municipalities face a number of challenges: knowledge of regulations, managing costs, and selecting cost-effective solutions. MITA Water Technologies can support them with its efficient and easy-to-manage solutions.
Cooling and wastewater treatment together: that's the card that proved successful in supporting a plastics equipment company in northern Italy, which was already working with MITA Cooling Technologies (now a commercial partner of MITA Water Technologies). The possibility of water reuse, through comprehensive management of this resource, is a card that industries can exploit to derive value from blue gold.
