Water engineering and treatment
Industrial Desalination Plants | Canary Islands & Africa
Design, installation, commissioning and technical support for seawater and brackish water desalination plants for hotels, agriculture, industry, communities and public projects.
A tailored solution for every type of water
Seawater and brackish water desalination plants
Desalination is essential for guaranteeing supply water, process water and irrigation water in water-scarce regions. We study the feed water quality, final use, required production, available energy and site conditions before defining each solution.
Hidrosoluciones Canarias is a company that specialises in desalination plants in the Canary Islands and international projects. We design seawater desalination plants, brackish water desalination plants and modular and containerised desalination plants tailored to each site.
Seawater desalination plants
SWRO plants for seawater intakes or coastal wells, with pre-treatment and membrane configuration adapted to the feed water.
- Hotels and resorts
- Industry and process water
- Coastal municipalities and communities
Brackish water desalination plants
BWRO systems for reducing salinity and specific parameters in high-mineralisation groundwater, gallery water or mains water.
- Agriculture and irrigation
- Industry and food
- Drinking water with post-treatment where applicable
Modular and containerised plants
Plug & Play solutions ready to accelerate assembly, protect equipment and facilitate transport to remote locations.
- Skid or container integration
- Scalable capacity
- Testing and pre-assembly prior to shipment
Engineering before catalogue
Data-driven sizing
We do not select a desalination plant solely on its nominal output. We analyse peak flow, recovery, target quality, pressure, temperature, potential fouling, space, automation and the availability of operation and maintenance.
- Review of analytics and recruitment conditions.
- Definition of pre-treatment, membranes and remineralisation where necessary.
- Study of rejection, washings, flushing and hydraulic integration.
- Electrical switchboard, instrumentation, control and monitoring.
Results-driven engineering
Industrial desalination plants designed to produce reliably
We turn every water requirement into a tailored, efficient and maintainable technical solution. We integrate reverse osmosis, pumping, instrumentation and automation to achieve the required quality and flow rate for hotels, agriculture, industry and public projects.
- Custom design for seawater and brackish water.
- Configuration focused on efficiency, control and operational continuity.
- Technical support for installation, commissioning and maintenance.
Professional applications
Desalination for demanding installations
We tailor each plant to the service continuity, water quality and available site operation.
Integrated technology
A complete plant, not just a membrane skid
The reliability of a desalination plant depends on the whole system: intake, pretreatment, high pressure, osmosis, cleaning, post-treatment, control and maintenance.
Pre-treatment
Filtration, dosing and membrane protection according to the raw water.
High pressure and RO
Pumps, diaphragms and recovery defined for the duty point.
Post-treatment
Remineralisation, pH adjustment and disinfection according to the end use.
Automation
Instrumentation, protections, alarms and operational control.
Energy and remote locations
Autonomous solar-powered desalination plants
We study photovoltaic and hybrid solutions to reduce reliance on the electricity grid or to operate in remote locations. The configuration is calculated according to daily production, the operating profile, available radiation, storage and catchment conditions.
- Hybrid operation with grid or support group.
- Photovoltaic integration tailored to the production profile.
- Automation to take advantage of generation hours.
- Modular solutions for transport and installation.
From necessity to implementation
Desalination plant development process
An orderly technical procedure reduces uncertainties and makes it possible to correctly define scope, investment and operation.
Data and analytics
Source of water, end use, production, continuity, space, energy and discharge.
Engineering
Mass balance, process, equipment, consumption, layout and automation.
Manufacture and installation
Assembly, testing, logistics, connections and integration with the installation.
Commissioning
Adjustments, quality control, training and maintenance planning.
Canary Islands as a technical and logistics base
Desalination plants in the Canary Islands, Africa and international projects
We work from the Canary Islands on insular desalination projects and on solutions prepared for transport, commissioning and technical support outside the archipelago.
Canary Islands
We study sea and brackish water installations in both provinces, with visit scheduling, assembly, maintenance and supply according to the island.
- Tenerife
- Gran Canaria
- Lanzarote
- Fuerteventura
- La Palma
- La Gomera
- El Hierro
- La Graciosa
Africa and other destinations
The Canary Islands make it possible to organise modular solutions, spare parts and assistance for projects in Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Cape Verde, West Africa and other destinations, as well as opportunities in South America.

Operational continuity
Maintenance, spare parts and renewal of desalination plants
As well as new installations, we help maintain, diagnose and modernise existing desalination plants to improve their availability, water quality and efficiency.
Maintenance of desalination plants
Preventive plans, diagnosis, CIP cleaning, consumables control, instrumentation check and fault finding.

Frequently asked questions about industrial desalination
What data do you need to size a desalination plant?
Origin and water analytics, daily production and peak flow rate, use of the permeate, operating hours, available energy, space, storage tanks, intake system and conditions for managing the reject water. In human consumption projects, post-treatment and applicable health requirements must also be defined.
What is the difference between an SWRO and a BWRO plant?
SWRO treats seawater and works with pressures and membranes suited to high salinity. BWRO treats brackish water, normally with lower salinity and pressure. The ultimate process depends on the analysis, not just the stated origin of the water.
Do you manufacture containerised desalination plants?
Yes. We can study skid-mounted or containerised installations, with pre-assembly, automation and interior layout adapted for transport and maintenance. The solution is defined according to production, auxiliary equipment and location.
Can you integrate solar energy?
Yes, when the production profile and site allow it. We study photovoltaic, hybrid or backup operation, considering power, storage, hours of sunshine and required continuity.
Do you work across all of the Canary Islands?
We study projects in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa. The visit, installation, maintenance and supply are confirmed according to the island and the scope of each project.
Tell us what water you need to produce
Tell us the origin of the water, the production, the end use and the location. We will prepare the data collection necessary to study a proportionate and maintainable desalination solution.
