DESALINATION LATIN AMERICA 2026

DESALINATION LATIN AMERICA 2026: Pioneering Sustainable Water Solutions in Santiago, Chile

Event Overview
DESALINATION LATIN AMERICA 2026, scheduled for June 17–18, 2026, in Santiago, Chile, is the premier regional forum addressing Latin America’s pressing water scarcity challenges through cutting-edge desalination technologies. This two-day conference and exhibition will unite industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and investors to explore innovative solutions, share best practices, and accelerate the adoption of sustainable water management practices across the continent.

Why Santiago, Chile?
Chile serves as an ideal host, being a global leader in desalination deployment—particularly for mining and urban water supply. Its arid northern regions and coastal cities have pioneered large-scale reverse osmosis (RO) plants, making Santiago a strategic hub for showcasing real-world applications. The event will leverage Chile’s expertise to highlight how desalination can balance industrial demand, environmental preservation, and community access to safe water.

Key Themes and Topics
The conference will address critical issues shaping Latin America’s water future:
1. Technological Innovation: Advances in RO, thermal desalination, hybrid systems, and energy-efficient modules.
2. Renewable Integration: Solar, wind, and geothermal energy powering desalination to reduce carbon footprints.
3. Brine Management: Novel approaches for minimizing environmental impact, including zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) and brine reuse.
4. Policy & Regulation: Incentives, tariffs, and frameworks to attract investment in water infrastructure.
5. Circular Economy: Water reuse in mining, agriculture, and urban settings to optimize resource efficiency.
6. Case Studies: Success stories from Chile, Peru, Mexico, and Brazil on scaling desalination projects.
