Objective & Description

The short-term mission aimed to assess the feasibility and basic engineering requirements for adapting RESIMEX’s water treatment plant to ensure a continuous flow of 1.2 liters per second, meeting Mexican standards for wastewater discharge. Additionally, the mission aimed to implement a pilot technology for treating 10 liters per second, aligning with standards for industrial and urban water reuse, including for farming.

Conducted in Mexico, a region facing severe water scarcity, the mission focused on identifying the Best Available Technology (BAT) for industrial water reuse. It included market and stakeholder analyses, evaluated cost reductions in treatment, and explored opportunities to sell or donate treated water, particularly for use in arid areas.
