Project Overview

Our El Salto Plant near Guadalajara, in Mexico, an area of extremely high water stress, consumes more than 1,200 m3 of water daily, mainly to produce chlorine. Our objective was to minimize withdrawal of valuable groundwater. To do this, we formed a partnership with the municipal water treatment plant to source treated water and return it for treatment after use in our production process. Our investment involved construction of 6 km of water pipes between the two plants, add…

Our El Salto Plant near Guadalajara, in Mexico, an area of extremely high water stress, consumes more than 1,200 m3 of water daily, mainly to produce chlorine. Our objective was to minimize withdrawal of valuable groundwater. To do this, we formed a partnership with the municipal water treatment plant to source treated water and return it for treatment after use in our production process. Our investment involved construction of 6 km of water pipes between the two plants, additional pumps and engineering work. We expect that our closed-loop water cycle will be fully operational by end 2021, significantly relieving water stress in the region.
