The Balearic Water and Environmental Quality Agency (ABAQUA) has awarded a contract to the joint venture of Tedagua and Global Omnium for the supply, installation, and commissioning of a containerized reverse osmosis desalination plant to expand the Sant Antoni de Portmany desalination station (IDAM) in Ibiza. The new facility, known as the SW10 plant, will provide a maximum production capacity of 1,000 m³/day of drinking water for human consumption and is expected to be launched soon. This initiative responds to the urgent need to secure the island’s water supply in anticipation of potential drought alerts, in line with the Special Action Plan for Alert and Eventual Drought Situations in the Balearic Islands (PESIB), aiming to reduce pressure on aquifers and strengthen resilience during peak demand. Distinguished by its containerized, modular, and portable design, the SW10 offers a rapidly deployable solution for areas with limited space or access, using advanced reverse osmosis technology to ensure high energy efficiency and excellent water quality. Its versatility makes it ideal for temporary projects, emergency scenarios, and tourism-related installations. With this project, Tedagua further expands its portfolio of compact desalination solutions, which also includes the TED SW27 (2,700 m³/day), TED SW13 (1,300 m³/day), and TED SW5 (500 m³/day), all designed within a single container for space-constrained environments, with the TED SW5 additionally capable of operating on renewable energy in areas lacking electricity. By advancing such initiatives, Tedagua strengthens its role as a global strategic partner in water treatment and management, serving over 20 million people worldwide and reaffirming its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and securing high-quality water for future generations.
