The Sheraton Hotel in Chile’s capital hosted the Latin
American Congress on Desalination and Water Reu-
se - Desal2014, the water management congress of
reference in Latin America. FCC Aqualia has bolste-
red its positioning in the Latin American mining sec-
tor as one of the leading private water management
companies.
Over the 3-day congress, the Company enjoyed a
notable presence, not just as a gold sponsor, but
also thanks to the participation of Bartolomé Marín,
head of the Desalination Department of Aqualia In-
fraestructuras (AISA) in the technical program.
On the first day of the event, FCC Aqualia represen-
tative gave the opening speech entitled “Challen-
ges in the marine desalination infrastructures”. The
company’s stand was one of the ones that received
the most visitors, with a wide representation of the
company’s clients, the managers of the desalination
plants operated by the company in the regions, and
the leading authorities of the Congress.
The fourth edition of Desal achieved a new record as
to the number of participants (more than three hun-
dred). The participating companies included Aben-
goa, Suez, Tedagua (ACS), Energy Recovery and
Cadagua (Ferrovial), besides aqualia infraestructuras,
an FCC Aqualia subsidiary which has already built
two desalination plants that it currently operates in
the northern part of Chile.
