The new Copero Advanced Composting Plant, launched by EMASESA in Seville, addresses two main challenges: recovering sludge from urban wastewater for agricultural use and significantly reducing odor emissions impacting local residents.
Through innovative operational controls and advanced monitoring systems, the facility ensures efficient composting while minimizing environmental and social impacts.

The design of wastewater collection systems is crucial for efficient water reclamation, focusing not only on hydraulic performance but also on biological and chemical factors that impact water quality and infrastructure longevity.
Addressing issues like corrosion, odors, and hazardous conditions in the design phase enhances sustainability and reduces costs. This paper explores key design strategies linked to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) benefits, including limiting anaerobic conditions, reducing turbulence, enforcing pretreatment, and planning for system growth, supported by a case study demonstrating successful implementation.

Chile's Ministry of the Environment has a Strategy for Odor Management that includes sector-specific regulations, prioritizing industries like fishing.
In response, Pescadores Industriales del Biobío has established four key actions: providing technical input for regulations, developing best practices, implementing advanced odor control technologies, and engaging with local communities. Effective odor management requires both technological solutions and continuous monitoring of operational practices. Collaboration between the public and private sectors has been crucial in shaping regulations that consider the unique characteristics of fishmeal and fish oil production.
