✦ Synopsis

The total production capacity of desalination plants in the Canary Islands is 212,000 m3/d . Brackish water plants, with 39,000 m 3/d capacity, use membrane units of different sizes . Sea water plants include MSF, VC and RO units . Sizes range from small units for tourist resorts to large plants for urban water supply . New sea water plants, being built under a Regional Desalination Scheme, will mainly use RO or VC technologies due to their small to medium size .
