With these new facilities, the company will be supplied with treated seawater, reducing the consumption of water resources.

This is the first seawater desalination plant in Arica, which will extract water from the ocean and allow the affiliate company to have access to this renewable resource and, at the same time, reduce its usage demand from the public drinking water network.

The facility will have a capacity to generate around 1,000 m3/h of desalinated water, equivalent to the daily consumption of approximately 6,500 people.

Golden Omega’s general manager, Jorge Brahm, explained that “this operation gives us greater autonomy from Arica’s drinking water network, providing more available capacity for use by the community. In this way, we ensure the continuity of supply and free up such an important resource in the midst of a water shortage period, which is in line with Golden Omega’s sustainability strategy.”
