Make fresh water in a sustainable and energy-efficient way
Reduce energy costs by applying the Danfoss APP pump
Compact and simple design
Due to its high energy-efficiency and reliability, SWRO has turned into one of the most sustainable and cost effective desalination solutions for land-based, offshore and marine applications. The technology is reliable and safe with high-pressure pumps forcing seawater through desalination membranes to create fresh water. Danfoss supplies expertise and unique technologies that can offer your business high efficiency, low maintenance and flexible configuration.




Superior energy recovery in SWRO
Danfoss iSave is a patented, high-efficiency Energy Recovery Device (ERD) that guarantees constant membrane feed in SWRO applications of any size – on land, at sea or on the move.
