The seawater desalination unit for SWRO DESAL with a capacity of 1,200 m3/day is in the final stage of assembly before FAT and trial operation.

Our DESAL units for seawater desalination have been the most in demand in the last few months, and with the Orderbook we have already increased the production volume by more than 18% compared to the previous year.

Why is desalination more and more in demand and necessary?

In recent years, Europe has seen increasingly frequent droughts, restrictions and restrictions on water consumption, problems with water infrastructure on islands and cities, increased water prices and increased costs of delivering water to the location by tankers/water carriers.

Due to the situation itself, the following are most affected:

• Islands
• Tourist facilities
• Marinas
• Camps
• Remote locations without a stable connection

Many building owners today want one simple solution: their own water production , independent of external suppliers.

How does a desalinizer work?

The process takes place in several technological steps.

1. Prefiltration

Seawater first passes through mechanical filters that remove: sand / silt / algae / suspended particles. With it, the sensitive membranes of the desalinizer are protected in this phase.

2. High-pressure pump

A special pump raises the water pressure to the level required to pass through the RO membranes. With seawater, the pressures are significantly higher than in standard drinking water systems.

3. Reverse osmosis

RO membranes separate: salt / minerals / microorganisms and impurities from clean water.

4. Container and processing

The produced water can be stored, enriched with minerals, i.e. remineralized, and disinfected.

How much does water produced by desalination cost?

One of the most common questions is: “Is desalination expensive?”

The answer depends on the comparison.

If a facility uses water supply by tankers/water carriers, expensive island connections, unstable water sources that either break down or run out of water during the season, then desalination often becomes extremely financially viable.

For many campsites, marinas and tourist facilities, the return on investment is achieved within a few years, after which the system practically produces its own water at a significantly lower cost.

The future belongs to independence.

Climate change, the growth of tourism and increased water consumption make desalination one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. centuries. Nowadays, users who produce their own water by desalination are not only more technologically advanced, but also significantly safer, more resilient and more economical in the long term.

The question today is no longer: “Can seawater be turned into drinking water?” ..that has been solved long ago.

The real question today is: “How much does it cost you to continue to depend on someone else’s water?”
