TSG commissions new high-recovery desalination train at Chileno Bay

TSG Water Resources has commissioned a new 700,000-gallon-per-day seawater reverse osmosis train at Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club in Los Cabos, Mexico. The project expands the resort’s desalination capacity and extends TSG’s use of high-recovery BiTurbo technology at the site.

Why it matters: - The new train increases Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club’s on-site desalination output and supports growing water demand at the property. - High-recovery BiTurbo technology produces more potable water from the same seawater volume than a conventional single-stage system. - The design lowers comparative brine discharge and is built to avoid a negative impact on energy consumption. - The commissioning adds to TSG Water Resources’ push for sustainable water production in the region.

What happened: - TSG Water Resources announced the successful commissioning of a new 700,000-gallon-per-day high-recovery seawater reverse osmosis train at Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico. - The new unit is the sixth desalination train at the facility. - It is the fourth train TSG has installed at the property overall. - It is the third train at Chileno Bay built around FEDCO’s BiTurbo technology. - The commissioning follows a two-train BiTurbo installation completed in 2023.

The details: - The BiTurbo system uses a patented two-stage turbocharger design. - The system can achieve up to 60% recovery using standard membranes. - The new train is designed to meet World Health Organization standards for potable water. - Chileno Bay’s desalination facility integrates the train through a PLC-based control system with remote monitoring. - TSG Water Resources specializes in the design, construction and operation of reverse osmosis desalination and wastewater treatment facilities across the Caribbean, Mexico and the United States. - TSG Water Resources focuses on sustainable, high-recovery treatment technology and long-term client partnerships. - For more information about TSG Water Resources, visit the company’s website. - TSG Water Resources also shared company updates on LinkedIn and Facebook.

Between the lines: - The repeated expansion at Chileno Bay suggests the property is relying more heavily on desalination as a core water supply strategy. - The emphasis on high recovery and lower brine discharge points to a cost and sustainability pitch aimed at water-stressed coastal destinations. - The continued use of BiTurbo technology indicates TSG is positioning the platform as a repeatable solution rather than a one-off installation.

What's next: - TSG is likely to continue pursuing similar high-recovery desalination projects across its core markets. - Chileno Bay’s expanded system should help support future water demand at the resort as operations grow. - TSG’s next opportunities will likely center on clients seeking more water output from limited seawater supplies while managing energy use and discharge.
