HE The performance of sanitation networks is one of the most important areas of work for Global Omnium’s teams of researchers and operators. Thanks to their work in the last 10 years 90.1% as an indicator of efficiencyit breaks water saving records in the municipalities where it provides this service.
Technical performance is important because achieving and maintaining high performance indicates that the network is optimizing treatment and reducing water losses. It helps combat scarcity of this resource and protects public health. It is estimated that due to the sensorization of the network, its sectoralization, infrastructure investments and fixed network, any leaks can be detected in the event of a fast and effective action, thus reducing the potential leaks by half.
In fact, in municipalities Global Omnium Responsible for water management such as Albalat del Sorells, Massamagrell, Rafelbunyol, Sagunto or Gandia, The productivity achieved with the telemetry installation increased by an average of 10%.
attention should be paid to its use. Telemeters across the entire fixed network managed by Global Omnium grew from 45,000 to 580,000 from 2011 to 2021.
3 million users in the Valencian Community
Right now, Global Omnium Thanks to its 308 wastewater treatment plants, it ensures the most appropriate treatment of wastewater produced by more than 3 million people. It operates all over Spain. In total, they refine 315.29 cubic meters. In addition to these treatment plants, Global Omnium also manages 25 septic tanks and 155 external pumps.
The group also bets energy savings in the daily operation of treatment plantsand is therefore closely linked to the application and generation of photovoltaic energy.

Dionisio García Comín, CEO Global OmniumOn the occasion of World Water Day, it demonstrated “the firm commitment of business to the fight against climate change”. through one of its most strategic resources: “Responsible and effective management of the sanitation and purification networks it manages in the Community of Valencia and other autonomies”.
That is why García Comín highlighted the century-old history of the Valencia company and its development to become a touchstone in the research and management of the integrated water cycle around the world: “We know the importance of environmental quality and how important it is to combat climate change. Currently, our sanitation networks are at 90% perfection. All kinds of leaks are detected immediately and measures are taken quickly and efficiently.».
In this sense, besides the development of various programs and initiatives from its technological laboratory, Golab, it develops collaborations with institutions and universities in European programs to launch pilot initiatives in various water plants. The aim is to improve both the water quality and environmental impacts, as well as the efficiency of operating different facilities, both wastewater treatment plants and drinking water sanitation networks.
«We meet the challenges we face due to climate change with the best technology. We believe it is possible to preserve and improve the quality of such a precious and scarce asset as water. “At the Valencia Community, we know very well how to use water efficiently and effectively, both for human consumption and for industry and agriculture,” said Global Omnium CEO.
