SQM, through its Project Management Division, is executing the Proyecto de Impulsión de Agua de Mar TEA,
a seawater-transport system comprising pipelines and pumping stations that deliver up to 900 L/s of seawater
from Puerto Patillo (62 km south of Iquique) to receiving ponds at Pampa Hermosa Oeste (1024 m a.s.l.), near
the nitrate plant.
