Tedagua, as part of the "UTE REUDESREG Tenerife," has designed, supplied, installed, and commissioned an innovative system for the regeneration of wastewater through reverse osmosis at the Adeje-Arona Wastewater Treatment Plant (EDAR). The EDAR is in the south of Tenerife, Spain.
This pioneering system for the treatment of reclaimed water represents a technological milestone by using reverse osmosis for the first time on the island to regenerate wastewater, and by incorporating it into containers, allowing for rapid installation and versatility.
This achievement has been made possible by the development of portable desalination plants by Tedagua's team of engineers and technicians as an efficient solution for the treatment and reuse of water for agricultural purposes. This new system has been designed and installed in three plant models (3,500, 1,500, and 700 m³/day) that cover the production capacity of the EDAR for the regeneration of its wastewater. The established requirement for the conductivity of the output water is 300 μS/cm or lower, from an influent with values between 2,100 and 2,300 μS/cm. Tedagua's plants have managed to reduce this figure significantly, reaching below 100 μS/cm.
The new containerized desalination plants for wastewater regeneration will expand Tedagua's catalog of compact plants. Currently, the seawater desalination family includes: the TED SW27, the most compact plant on the market with 2,700 m³/day; the TED SW13, which allows desalination of 1,300 m³/day; the TED SW5, whose design in a single container makes it adaptable to scenarios with limited space or difficult access; and finally, the TED SW2, designed to supply water using renewable energy in situations without electrical supply.
Tedagua has established itself as a leader in the design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, and engineering of comprehensive solutions for water treatment and management. With over 40 years of experience and a team of around 300 people, it has committed to researching new technologies applied to the water sector, achieving significant advances in processes such as reuse and desalination.
With climate change and global population growth, the need for effective and adaptable water solutions is more urgent than ever. Tedagua's containerized desalination plants are prepared to address these challenges, providing a reliable and scalable solution in various emergency situations, representing a vital tool to ensure water security in natural disasters, humanitarian crises, or high water stress situations. Their robust design, ease of operation, and modularity make them ideal for rapid deployment, contributing to resilience and sustainable development.
