This is the first of two video clips which document the Training of trainers on AQUACYCLE's eco-innovative wastewater treatment system. The event was organized on the occasion of the project's 8th progress meeting during 22 to 24 February 2023 and took place in the Murcia Region of Spain. The first day, which was hosted by ESAMUR, covered presentations on the design, operation, and maintenance of the 3 components of the APOC system. These include an anaerobic digester, one or more constructed wetlands and a solar raceway pond reactor for the disinfection of the treated effluent. The training materials employed are publicly accessible on the e-training platform of the project. The second day was devoted to a field visit to the APOC pilot demonstration unit installed at the Blanca wastewater treatment facility in the Murcia Region of Spain. On the third day, the participants visited the solar research facilities at PSA-CIEMAT in the neighbouring province of Almeria. Results of the analysis of the treated effluent from the APOC pilot demonstration unit were shared during the 8th project progress meeting which concluded the 3-day event.

This first video clip was produced by Khoder Khalil from the Lebanese University team in the AQUACYCLE Partnership.
