Veolia and Transition Industries Partner on Industrial Water Reuse for Pacifico Mexinol

Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions and Transition Industries LLC have partnered to develop advanced water technology solutions for the Pacifico Mexinol project in Sinaloa, Mexico. The facility, set to begin operations in 2028, will produce 6,145 metric tons of methanol daily, making it the world's largest standalone ultra-low carbon chemical production site. The project will implement a closed-loop system that recycles municipal wastewater, reducing reliance on freshwater sources and preserving water for agricultural and community needs.

The collaboration includes the deployment of Veolia’s advanced water treatment technologies, such as ultrafiltration membranes, reverse osmosis, and electrodeionization systems. This approach is expected to prevent over 8.5 million cubic meters of wastewater annually from being discharged into the Bay of Ohuira, significantly lowering environmental impact while supporting sustainable methanol production.

Anne Le Guennec, Senior Executive VP for Worldwide Water Technologies at Veolia, said, "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 the acceleration of decarbonization and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, in full alignment with our GreenUP strategic program commitments." said Anne Le Guennec, Senior Executive VP for Worldwide Water Technologies at Veolia.
