Global Omnium to Invest 1.2 Million in Moncofa Desalination Plant for Effluent Treatment

This investment, awarded by Acuamed, will purify wastewater discharges and prepare the plant for future expansions.

The Moncofa desalination plant will receive a 1.2 million euro investment from Global Omnium and Técnicas de Desalinización de Aguas, aiming to implement an advanced effluent treatment system and improve wastewater purification.

The company Global Omnium, in a joint venture with Técnicas de Desalinización de Aguas, will carry out a new investment of 1.2 million euros at the Moncofa desalination plant. This project, already awarded by the State Society of Waters of the Mediterranean Basins (Acuamed), will focus on installing an effluent treatment system, with an execution period of 15 months.
This work is essential for purifying the wastewater discharges generated by the plant. The project will include treatment for up to 37,033.5 m³/day across three production lines, ensuring that the concentration of suspended solids in the discharge complies with environmental authority limits. Additionally, the needs of three extra lines for future expansion will be considered, reserving space for a total of six lines (60,000 m³/day) and designing common lines for all of them, with the installation of 100% modular equipment.
The project will incorporate a new backwash lamination tank, in-line coagulation, lamellar decantation, and sludge dewatering using centrifuges. It will also include pre-dewatering thickening, which will double as a buffer tank to regulate the process. For saline water dewatering, centrifugal dewatering units will be used, offering lower investment and operational costs.
This is not the only initiative by Acuamed at the Moncofa desalination plant. Simultaneously, a maintenance project and the drafting of a disinfection and remineralization plan are underway, awarded in December to the same joint venture for 3.4 million euros. This project, with a two-year timeframe, will improve facility maintenance and ensure necessary production, including the new connection to the municipalities of the former Consorcio de la Plana, now integrated into a provincial water entity.
This new service will adapt the desalination plant to its future uses, which will be sustainably expanded with the integration of the Plana pipeline. Currently, the plant only supplies its municipal area and Xilxes, but with the new pipeline, it will also supply water to Onda, Vila-real, Burriana, Alqueries, la Vilavella, Betxí, and Nules, thereby strengthening the supply capacity of this part of the province and the viability of the plant, whose construction cost 100 million euros.
