Waste Your Time With Us: Excursion to the Wastewater Treatment and Sludge Utilization Plant Werdhölzli
Waste Your Time With Us: Excursion to the Wastewater Treatment and Sludge Utilization Plant Werdhölzli
Wastewater treatment plants handle the organics of
thousands
of people living in dense city areas. They break down complex organic
materials
into their original components and through this clean wastewater before
releasing it in the natural water system. Through this they keep our
rivers clean, regain important materials such as phosphorus and even
produce electricity
and heating energy for the district heating system. They imitate natural
processes, which happen in rivers, but do it in a far more
intensified and technologically controlled way. Sounds pretty cool
right? Come
and join us for this excursion and learn more about this fascinating and
critical infrastructure of urbanized life.
We will meet either 14:15 at Polybahn or 14:45 at the Treatment Plant (Bändlistrasse 108, 8064 Zürich).
