Desalination
Desalination: Technology for a Resilient Water Future.
In a global scenario of increasing water stress, the desalination of seawater and brackish water has solidified its position as a strategic solution to guarantee supply. At GS Inima, we are world leaders in this technology, with a track record that has led us to build and operate the first desalination plant in numerous countries. We convert seawater into a high-quality, reliable, and safe resource for millions of people, agriculture, and industry, adapting to the needs of each community.

Our Added Value: Innovation and Sustainability
Innovation and Technology
We develop and apply cutting-edge technologies, from the latest generation Reverse Osmosis to the use of advanced digital
models like the Digital Twin, to optimize the performance and reliability of our desalination plants.
Commitment to Sustainability
Our plants are designed to minimize energy consumption and, where possible, integrate renewable energy, reducing the
carbon footprint.
Economic and Social Impact
Desalination not only guarantees water but also boosts the local economy, supports agriculture and tourism, and creates employment, contributing to the sustainable development of communities.
SWRO BARKA V
Barka V produces 100.000 m3/day capacity under normal conditions and 105.000 m3/día capacity during peak demand periods, using Reverse Osmosis.
SWRO ALICANTE
The Alicante Desalination Plant has a total treatment capacity of 122.500 m3/día across the two production lines that comprise its treatment process.
