en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sacyr Water has completed the financial closure for the Salar del Carmen water reuse plant in Antofagasta, Chile, amounting to $460 million, with a concession period of 35 years. The financing was subscribed by Banco del Estado de Chile, BTG Pactual, and an international bank.

The water reuse plant, tendered by Chile's sanitary services company, will become one of the largest water reuse facilities in Latin America, dedicated to supplying reclaimed water to the mining industry. The project is expected to create over 500 jobs in the region. Lucas de Marcos, Sacyr Water Chile Manager, stated: "This concession will set a precedent for wastewater reuse."

The water reuse plant will collect pre-treated wastewater from the Antofagasta plant currently operated by Sacyr Water and convey it to a new treatment facility in the Salar del Carmen area, with a final treatment capacity of 900 liters per second. The pre-treated water will be transported through a 16-kilometer pipeline, of which a 5.4-kilometer urban section will employ micro-tunneling construction methods. Additionally, a 24-kilometer pipeline will be built to La Negra, along with another 24 kilometers to Mantos Blancos. The water reuse plant is expected to become operational in 2028.

Sacyr has been present in Chile since 1996 and currently operates 5 airports, 11 concession highways, 7 hospitals in various stages of development, and 5 sanitary facilities covering the integrated water cycle in the country. Sacyr Water also holds the concession contract for the design, financing, construction, and operation of the new Coquimbo seawater desalination plant.
