Tourism and accomodation

Ecomarca operates in the tourism and accommodation sector and it is responsible for the construction of new waste water treatment plants and the enhancement of existing purifiers. It carries out support, management and maintenance activities for both private and public customers.

WASTE WATER PURIFIERS

Ecomarca designs and builds waste water treatment plants for holiday apartment complexes, holiday villages, hotels, campsites which are not served by the local sewerage system. It has a consolidated experience in the construction of waste water treatment plants for hotels located in the centre of Venice, where it is required the minimum encumbrance and consumption of soil and very high efficiency and durability.

The main types of waste water treatment plants installed by Ecomarca are the sequential (SBR, Sequencing Batch Reactor) and the membrane ones (MBR, Membrane Bio Reactor).

SBR plants are suitable for the treatment of waste water characterised by a strong variability over time, both in terms of pollutant and hydraulic load. SBR plants allow treatment during all the 24 hours, by accumulating a part of the waste water during the day and carrying on the treatment cycle at night. The main characteristic of SBR systems is to carry out all the stages of the purifying process within a single compartment in a sequential manner.

In MBR plants the purifying process using activated sludge and the microfiltration through membranes are coupled. Ecomarca chose and suggests to its customers flat ceramic membranes since, with respect to other types made with other materials, typically polymeric, they guarantee a very high durability over time, continuous purifying effectiveness and very low maintenance costs.

MBR purifiers have the advantage of being particularly compact and they consequently require smaller volumes, the flow rate processed being equal; inside these plants all the water is micro filtered through membranes and this allows the reuse of purified water.

MBR purifiers may be installed inside tanks made of concrete (both prefabricated and built on site), steel, fiberglass, plastic or any other material required; as their encumbrances are limited, Ecomarca provides a range of pre-assembled purifiers.

Wherever possible, Ecomarca carries out the enhancement of existing plants without modifying the existing tanks and by minimizing the inconvenience related to plant downtime.

t also provides the service of renting out skid mounted treatment plants inside prefabricated tanks or containers.

Ecomarca is registered with Soa Os22, Class II.

PURIFIER MAINTENANCE

Ecomarca has over 30 years of experience in supporting and maintaining waste water treatment plants, including the management of waste water for hotels located in the Venetian Lagoon characterized by all the peculiarities related to tidal flow and special logistics.

The company provides remote support and, where it is required by the customer, availability at night and on Sundays and public holidays, and it also assists the customer in relationships and communication with supervisory authorities.

Finally, Ecomarca has its own workshop for the analysis of samples.

Ecomarca è dotata infine di un proprio laboratorio per le analisi dei campionamenti.

ENVIRONMENTAL BIOSAFETY

Concerning Environmental biosafety, it provides services of disinfection of water plants in order to prevent and control Legionella through the use of 100% biodegradable products consisting of stabilized hydrogen peroxide such as Ox-Virin and Ox-Agua.

The modes of actions for the disinfection of water plants are the following:

• Strong decontamination which consists in cleaning storage tanks and in general disinfection of domestic hot and cold water system through water fluxing with a solution of stabilized hydrogen peroxide from all end points;
• Continuous dosage which consists in the continuous supply of stabilized hydrogen peroxide, at a very low dosage, by ensuring the non-proliferation of bioburden.
