The desalination industry plays a crucial role in water security, economic development and environmental protection in Chile. Its importance will only increase in the future, as the country faces increasing challenges related to water scarcity and climate change.
Together with our official sponsors: The Chilean Ministry of Mining, the General Directorate of Water of the MOP, our Bronze Sponsor – Curacao Mining Company, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology, we want to honour innovations and best practices that reflect both the business achievements and the advances in sustainability and leadership that drive the desalination industry in the region.
In our 2nd Desalination Recognition Ceremony Latam 2025, we will recognize inspiring practices in the following categories:
1. Long-Term Operational Impact for Multipurpose Desalination Award
The Long-Term Operational Impact recognition for Multipurpose Desalination celebrates the lasting contributions of a multipurpose desalination plant that, over an extended period, has consistently provided efficient and versatile water solutions, leaving a lasting positive impact on various sectors and communities.
2. Desalination Technology Innovation Award
The Desalination Technology Innovation Award recognizes companies that have implemented significant advances in technology, from new reverse osmosis solutions to the integration of renewable energies (such as solar desalination). This award highlights innovations that improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and promote sustainability in the desalination process.
3. Sustainable Management and Environmental Responsibility Award
The sustainable management and environmental responsibility award highlights companies that have shown an exemplary commitment to environmental sustainability in the field of desalination. This can include proper brine management, the use of renewable energy, minimizing ecological impact in coastal areas, and meeting the highest environmental impact standards.
4. Best Public-Private Collaboration in Desalination Award
The best public-private collaboration in desalination award recognizes the most outstanding alliances between governments, public institutions and private companies that have allowed the realization of successful desalination projects. This award celebrates the ability to attract investment, mobilize resources and create regulatory frameworks that support the growth of the sector.
5. Water Resilience Award
The Water Resilience Award is an accolade for companies that have demonstrated exceptional ability to maintain operational continuity and meet the challenges of climate change and water scarcity in particularly vulnerable regions.
