The plant was built to have a water treatment capacity of 19,200 m3 per day, which is sufficient to supply 77,000 inhabitants.

The hourly supply of water that can be treated at the refinery is variable and ranges from 200-800 m3 / h. The regulation of the hourly flow is done through the automation system of the refinery and the water level in the central clean water storage tank, in order to ensure the peak demand for drinking water in the city of Alexandroupolis.
