Pacifico Mexinol is a net-zero world scale methanol project that will produce 6,145 metric tons of methanol per day. The site is set to become one of the world's largest applications of industrial water reuse from municipal effluent, leveraging Veolia’s state-of-the-art technological solutions.
The memorandum of understanding (MOU) outlines the collaboration between Transition Industries and Veolia to develop a purpose-driven water strategy for the Pacifico Mexinol project.
The Pacifico Mexinol project's water management approach tackles water scarcity head-on by using innovative technologies to avoid tapping into freshwater sources, preserving these resources for local agriculture and community needs.
Instead, it employs a closed-loop system that treats and recycles municipal wastewater, adhering to national regulations. This approach will prevent more than 8.5 million cubic meters of wastewater annually from being discharged into the Bay of Ohuira, significantly reducing environmental impact.
Under the terms of the MOU, Veolia would design and equip the water treatment plant with advanced technologies such as ZeeWeed 500D ultrafiltration membranes, PROflex reverse osmosis membranes and E-Cell electrodeionization. Veolia would also be responsible for commissioning and starting-up the equipment and technology to optimize the performance of the Pacifico Mexinol project treatment plant.
