Danfoss to demonstrate how energy efficiency can decarbonize desalination processes at EDS 2025
Danfoss experts will be on hand at EDS’ Desalination for the Environment – Clean Water and Energy Congress in Porto, Portugal to showcase energy-efficient pumps and active energy recovery devices that can help address water scarcity while supporting decarbonization efforts.
Energy-efficient solutions for addressing water scarcity
The Desalination for the Environment Congress gathers research scientists, decision-makers, utilities, and representatives from the public and private sectors to discuss how we can work together to address global water challenges in a sustainable manner. “The need for clean water has never been greater, and climate change-induced flooding and droughts are only exacerbating an already critical issue,” says Francisco Jiménez-Castellanos. “Desalination by means of seawater reverse osmosis is one of the most effective means of addressing water scarcity, but it is also highly energy intensive. At Danfoss, we are committed to reducing the energy cost of reverse osmosis, and at this year’s EDS we’ll show how our energy-efficient pumps and energy recovery devices do that.”
Congress attendees can meet with Danfoss experts at booth number A11 to learn more about our products for desalination and water reuse, including our range of APP high-pressure pumps and iSave/MPE energy recovery devices for SWRO plants of all sizes. Booth visitors can also speak with Danfoss representatives about the most energy-efficient way of tackling concrete projects and challenges.
