Spanish water company ACCIONA Agua is to use Energy Recovery Inc's PX technology for the Minera CAP expansion desalination project in Chile's Atacama Region. Earlier this year, Compañía Minera del Pacífico (CAP Group) selected ACCIONA to carry out water conduits and concentrate project works for the Minero Cerro Negro Norte Project in the Copiapó Valley, in Chile's Atacama Region III. The desalination operation will have an initial capacity of 21 830 m3/day, with a potential of 39 310 m3/day within the next year. "Chile is on the forefront of a major desalination boom and we are proud to help contribute to the country's economic development in this regard," said Tom Rooney, CEO and president of Energy Recovery. "We look forward to working with ACCIONA and the Chilean government in the years to come and helping our partners attain their high environmental and quality objectives."
