Ecuador: INNOQUA demo site in Quito

Quito is the capital of Ecuador, located on the equator in the Andean region at an altitude of about 2800 m. It has a population of 2.6 million people. Whereas the city is well covered by the municipal sewage network, more than 97% of the wastewater does not receive any treatment and is discharged, together with rainwater, into local rivers.

Beneficiaries

The INNOQUA system treats the wastewater from a multi-family house located in the Miraflores district in the centre of the city. This building hosts ten persons in three apartments and an office.
