Today’s rapid population and economic growth brings many challenges such as water shortage. To prevent over-extraction of fresh water, turning to alternative resources has become a necessity. Desalination of sea water is a high potential solution to face potable water scarcity and thanks to innovative technologies, it becomes more and more ecologically and economically efficient.

The Sur Desalination Plant puts a lot of effort into reducing the environmental impact of the desalination process. Two outstanding aspects are:

• Energy recuperation and re-use due to Energy Recovery Devices (ERD):
  Reduces the impact of the operations on the environment and also operating expenses
• Innovative water intake based on beachwells:
  Allows a lighter pre-treatment (thanks to natural sand filtration) and allows a better water quality
