Innovating to remain competitive, in search of increased environmental sustainability:<\/strong>
\nAwarded in Paris the \u201cDistinction awards\u201d 2018 to the water desalination plant created \u00a0by Sarlux.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sarlux, a Saras Group company, has developed a comprehensive programme to improve its environmental performance<\/strong>,
\nin accordance with the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)<\/strong>, which the company has joined.<\/p>\n

Water<\/strong> is a very precious resource, especially in Sardinia<\/strong>.
\nBeing able to rely on water resources<\/strong> is key for all activities, including industrial operations.
\nThis is why Sarlux has focused on making its water management increasingly efficient<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A few important milestones: in 2012 we created a reverse osmosis plant for the recovery of sewer waters.
\nIn 2015, with the acquisition of Versalis, the ultra-filtration plants afforded additional benefits.<\/p>\n

Since ongoing improvement means asking for more, more we have provided. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We have gone beyond the concept of efficiency, seen as maintaining production performance
\nwhile decreasing consumption.<\/p>\n

In 2017, we chose a leading company, Acciona Agua, to design and construct
\nat the SARAS Refinery a \u2018tailor-made\u2019 desalination plant, the largest in the Mediterranean<\/strong>,
\nable to produce no less than 12,000 m3<\/sup> per day of demineralized water, by means of a continuous process
\nthat instead of using chemicals relies on ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and electro-deionization.<\/p>\n

The desalination plant received a \u201cDistinction award\u201d at Paris during prize awards
\nat the 2018 Global Water Intelligence summit,\u00a0a competition that recognises the best initiatives
\nin the areas of water management,\u00a0waste water treatment and desalination systems,
\nwhich employ innovative technologies and sustainable financial models.<\/p>\n

The new plant will replace some older desalination units built in the 1990s and which are no longer energy-efficient.<\/p>\n

This innovative investment produces environmental advantages for society as a whole
\nand for other economic activities which will benefit from the availability of a much greater quantity of water<\/strong>,
\nin a coastal area of the Sulcis that sees the coexistence of industrial, farming and tourist activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
