The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines collaboration between Transition Industries and Veolia to develop a dedicated water strategy for the Pacifico Mexinol project. Conceived in collaboration with the Drinking Water and Sewerage Board of the Municipality of Ahome (JAPAMA), this strategy would make the Pacifico Mexinola site one of the world’s largest industrial water reuse applications from municipal wastewater, using Veolia’s state-of-the-art technological solutions.
The Pacifico Mexinol project’s water management approach directly addresses water scarcity by using innovative technologies to avoid using freshwater sources, thus conserving these precious resources for local agriculture and community needs.
Instead, it uses 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 from being discharged annually into Ohuira Bay, reducing the environmental impact.
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, Veolia would design and equip a water treatment plant with advanced technologies such as ZeeWeed 500D™ ultrafiltration membranes, PRObend™ reverse osmosis membrane and E-Cell™ electrodeionization. Veolia would also be responsible for the commissioning and commissioning of equipment and technology to optimize the operation of the Pacifico Mexinol treatment plant.
Balmore Brito, Pacifico-Mexinol Project Director and Head of Engineering and Technology for Transitional Industries, said: Years of community and municipal engagement have led to the development of a set of purpose-driven design solutions, such as our wastewater strategy. The ability to partner with Veolia, a global leader in water solutions, to harness technology and reduce negative environmental impacts is the foundation of our core values of combating climate change and leadership in environmental and social responsibility.
Anne Le Guennec, Senior Executive Vice President Worldwide Water Technologies at Veolia added: We are very proud to partner with Transition Industries on this transformative project. Our best-in-class water technologies and regeneration processes will enable sustainable methanol production, contributing to accelerating decarbonisation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in full compliance with our GreenUP strategic program commitments.
Transition Industries is jointly developing Pacifico Mexinol with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. When it begins operations in 2028, Pacifico Mexinol is expected to be the largest single ultra-low carbon methanol plant in the world “ producing approximately 350,000 MT of green methanol and 1.8 million MT of blue methanol with carbon capture annually.
This partnership between Transition Industries and Veolia marks a significant step forward in sustainable industrial practices, demonstrating the power of collaboration to address global environmental challenges while driving economic growth.
