Copiapó Desalination Plant

ACCIONA Agua's first desal plant built specifically for a mining company.

• Transports iron concentrate, driven by water along a steel pipeline and pumping by the desal plant.
• Project Budget comes to a total US$143 million.
• Capacity: 54.000 m3/d (17 million liters/day).
• We've developed a technological solution to overcome the problem of the red flowing weeds that are common locally and which are an environmental problem that's worsened over recent years.
