How it works


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.




The importance of energy efficiency in the desalination process
Juan Manuel Ortega, renowned desalination expert, tells about the importance of using highly efficient energy recovery devices and high-pressure pumps.
