In response to growing concerns over water scarcity, the island of Ibiza is set to benefit from a new modular desalination system designed to boost its drinking water supply. The project, led by Tedagua in partnership with Global Omnium, involves the deployment of a containerized reverse osmosis plant capable of producing up to 1,000 cubic meters of potable water per day
Awarded by the Balearic Water and Environmental Quality Agency (ABAQUA), the initiative is part of the region’s Special Action Plan for Drought Situations (PESIB). It aims to reduce pressure on local aquifers and strengthen the island’s resilience during peak demand periods, particularly in the face of climate-driven water stress
The new SW10 unit stands out for its containerized design, which allows for rapid deployment, easy transport, and efficient operation in space-constrained environments. Using advanced reverse osmosis technology, the system ensures high energy efficiency and consistent water quality. Its compact format makes it ideal for temporary installations, emergency response, and tourism-heavy zones where infrastructure expansion is limited
Tedagua’s broader portfolio of compact desalination solutions includes models like the TED SW27, TED SW13, and TED SW5, each designed to meet varying capacity needs. Notably, the TED SW5 can operate independently of the grid, powered by renewable energy sources—making it suitable for remote or off-grid locations
This project reinforces Tedagua’s role as a global leader in water treatment innovation, serving over 20 million people worldwide. The company continues to prioritize sustainable development and technological advancement to ensure reliable access to clean water for communities facing environmental and infrastructural challenges
