Danfoss experts will be on hand at this year’s IDRA World Congress in Abu Dhabi to showcase energy-efficient pumps and energy recovery devices that can help address water scarcity while supporting decarbonization efforts.
Energy-efficient solutions for water scarcity
The IDRA World Congress gathers global experts in the areas of water reuse, desalination and energy 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 Lucena.
“Desalination by means of seawater reverse osmosis is one of the most effective means of addressing water scarcity, but it is highly energy intensive. At Danfoss, we are committed to reducing the energy cost of reverse osmosis, and at this year’s IDRA we’ll show how our energy-efficient pumps, energy recovery devices and AC drives do that.”
Congress attendees can meet with Danfoss experts at booth C-23 to learn more about the company’s product line for desalination and wastewater reuse, including its range of APP high-pressure pumps and iSave energy recovery devices for seawater reverse osmosis plants of all sizes. Booth visitors can also speak with Danfoss representatives about the most energy-efficient way of tackling concrete projects and challenges.

Michael has 25+ years of global leadership experience within petrochemicals and water industries. He joined Danfoss as VP of High-Pressure Pumps – a BU focusing on high-quality, energy efficient pumps and energy recovery solutions for the global water sector – in 2019. Prior to Danfoss, Michael spent 20+ years with polymer company Borealis and its ADNOC joint venture Borouge, holding senior positions within Sales and Marketing, Supply Chain and JV Management. He has lived and worked in Germany, Belgium, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and now resides in Denmark. Michael holds an M.Sc. in Economics and Business Administration and Executive Education from IMD Lausanne, Switzerland.
The first active ERD for medium and large plants, the MPE 70 integrates highly effective isobaric pressure exchangers with a low-voltage motor to eliminate the risk of rotor overspin, reduce mixing and biofouling, and facilitate smarter automation. Covering train sizes from 1,500 m3/day and above.
The range of high-pressure APP pumps is optimized for both landbased, off-shore and marine sea water reverse osmosis applications. Available with or without motor.
With a 3-in-1 design that integrates highly effective isobaric pressure exchangers with positive displacement booster pumps and electrical motors, active iSave® ERDs deliver big energy savings in small spaces. Covering train sizes from 200-3,000 m3/day
The APP W HC pump is suitable for ZLD and MLD reverse osmosis applications used in industrial wastewater treatment.
