The La Chanavayita plant will produce 200 gal per minute

Nirosoft Industries has won a tender to supply a seawater desalination (SWRO) plant for Aguas De Altiplano, the Chilean Regional Water Utility company. The SWRO plant, to be located in La Chanavayita, a small rural community in northern Chile, will produce 45 m3 of water per hour (200 gal per minute).

"This state-of-the-art desalination plant represents a major step forward for the community, who will now be able to rely on a consistent supply of high quality drinking water," says Michael P. Tramer, global VP marketing and sales, Nirosoft. The system is based on Nirosoft's new NIROBOX pre-engineered systems, meeting the need for a cost-effective water treatment solution. The treatment process comprises of ultrafiltration pre-treatment, followed by three SWRO trains and post-treatment.

The turnkey project is being supplied at an approximate cost of $3 million.
