North Antofagasta Desalination Plant

Antofagasta, Chile

Description

The newly expanded and upgraded North Antofagasta desalination plant increases the plant’s previous output – 1,053 liters/second (278 gallons/second) – by around 53%, enough to cover current and projected future freshwater demand for residential, industrial, and agricultural use in the Antofagasta region.


Products Used

PENETRON ADMIX was mixed into the concrete for the holding tanks, other structures exposed to seawater, and freshwater storage tanks. Because PENETRON ADMIX is completely non-toxic and contains no VOCs, the admixture is NSF 61-certified for potable water applications like the North Antofagasta project.
