WATER REUSE and DESALINATION CONFERENCE
for LATIN AMERICA DEVELOPMENT
Session 1: Water Reuse and Desalination - Success Stories I
Session Chair:
Mr. Miguel Angel Sanz, France
Session Co-Chairs:
Prof. Ivanildo Hespanhol, Brazil
Session Description:
Desalination has been exponentially growing in the last several decades as part of the solutions to feeding the
population or the industry where the natural resources are limited. Over 18,000 plants are able to produce more
than 80,000,000 m3/day of fresh water in 150 countries.
Latin America continues to grow and desalination is experiencing progress led by the industry applications.
South America is suffering one of the driest periods in the last decade and the municipal market is close to using
desalination to supply drinking water for important cities.
In this session, we will show several successful case studies coming from different parts of the world bringing the
practical experience of implementation of desalination plans and plants. The session will also address different
types of contracts including DB and DBO projects, alliances as well as IWP and PPP financing projects.
The Middle East has more than 50 years experience concentrating at 60% of the seawater market. The cases
of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain will illustrate different ways to apply desalination to produce drinking water for the
population for years to come.
We will also bring several cases where desalination plans have been implemented in a short time to solve
specific problems as in the cases of Spain, Australia, Singapore and Israel. The session will be complemented
with some successful experiences in Latin America.
Speakers:
Dr. Abdullah Al-Alshaikh, President, International Desalination Association, Saudi Arabia
Ms. Gabriela Manueco Pfeiffer, Deputy Director of Engineering and Construction, Acuamed, Spain
Mr. Roberto Cavalcanti Tavares, President, Compesa, Brazil

Session 2: Water Reuse and Desalination - Success Stories II
Session Chair:
Mr. Renato Giani Ramos, Brazil
Session Co-Chairs:
Mr. Carlos Cosin, CEO, Abengoa, Spain
Session Description:
Municipal Wastewater Reuse has been one of the most controversial sources of water in current days. Be it lack of
knowledge or a natural self-defense, the public perception tends to be negative when reuse is the subject. However,
a higher global demand for water is making it increasingly indispensable and a new concept about management
of water streams where reuse is a key alternative is needed to enhance water supply liability.
Brazil has recently been a bitter example where availability of water does not mean accessibility to the water. One
of the countries with the largest water resources globally is currently facing its more critical water stress for the past
decade and is urgently looking for a short term solution. Different countries around the world have handled similar
situations and have found reuse as a viable alternative. One of the most significant benefits of water reuse is the
value created by the inclusion of water reuse in integrated water resources resulting in the long-term sustainability
of our water supplies.
Application of innovative technologies, technology transfer and better documentation of the benefits of water
reuse can contribute to public education and increased public acceptance. Nevertheless, the lack of available
funding for water reuse projects and the need for support by regulators and politicians are key pieces for making
reuse a reality.
This session will discuss alternatives for water reuse and will explain the different forms, appropriate technologies,
applicable standards, advantages, drawbacks and will discuss the different opinions of practices around the world.
These type of contracts will be an important aspect in this session covering Construction to PPP’s.
Speakers:
Mr. Marcos Koehler Asseburg, P.E., Director, Odebrecht Environmental -Aquapolo Ambiental, Brazil
Mr. Abraham Tenne, Head of Desalination Division, Israeli Water Authority, Israel

Session 3: Oil & Gas Applications
Session Chair:
Mr. Guillaume Clairet, EVP, H2O Innovation, Canada
Session Co-Chairs: Mr. Eduardo Torres, Senior Advisor, Petrobras, Brazil
Session Description:
Oil & gas producers are in great need of viable solutions for better management of the water used in their
global operations. Depending on the geographies and geologies, the requirements are extremely different but
yet present a great deal of similarities in the desalination technologies they use for recycling water, discharging
water or ‘’customizing’’ water quality.
In Brazil, the offshore market has needs for sulfate removal (SRP) from seawater used for injection and this
is accomplished through low pressure spiral wound membrane elements. At the other end of the Globe,
Australia’s regulated coal seam gas market uses similar spiral wound membrane systems to recycle water used
for fracking the reservoirs. The Canadian oil sands on their end, one of the most heavily regulated oil play in the
World, uses thermal desalination technologies for treating high salinity brines coming out of SAGD operations
(Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage). Finally, the shale gas and shale oil intensive requirements in ‘’frack’’ water
also create various needs for water treatment from Argentina (Vaca Muerta) to Pennsylvania (Marcellus).
This session will focus on the various technical challenges related to water faced by oil producers globally
and some of the solutions which have been successfully implemented such as: Low-salinity water flooding &
enhanced oil recovery (EOR); Sulphate removal process (SRP); SAGD (Steam-Assisted gravity drainage) water
recycling with evaporators; Fracking and associated flowback and produced water treatment.
The global oil producers have tremendous water management challenges in front of them to insure they will
be able to deliver fossil fuel energy to the World for years to come. Their key experts will share how they plan
to tackle these challenges through existing and upcoming water treatment technologies tailored to the O&G
industry.

Session 4: Mining and Industrial Applications
Session Chair:
Mr. Raymond Philippe, Chile
Session CWo-Chairs: Dr. Corrado Sommariva, MD, ILF, United Arab Emirates
Session Description:
Water availability for industrial applications such as mining, power, chemical and food and beverage,
especially in arid regions, has been declining rapidly over time.
These industries compete with water requirements for the municipal and agriculture sectors. As a consequence,
companies are evaluating several sustainable alternative water supply options, such as desalination of
brackish water or seawater.
The case of the mining industry in Latin America is quite particular, as most mining projects and operations
are located inland, and very often at higher altitudes, desalination projects in reality are the result of a
complex integration of marine works, a desalination treatment system combined with a high-pressure water
conveyance pipeline, and an energy transmission project.
Nowadays, several industries are relying on desalination to cope with a very strict effluent discharge regulation.
Membrane treatment to meet discharge limits for metals, sulfates, nitrogen and phosphorous, and several
organic compounds have been successfully implemented in various industries.
In this session, desalination for industrial applications will be presented with a focus on a business model,
complexity of design, size and cost of the installations and operation.
Speakers:
Mr. Srinivas (Vasu) Veerapaneni, Deslination Technology Leader, Black & Veatch, Argentina
