Creating fresh water using reverse osmosis (RO) requires reliable and cost-effective equipment to ensure the local consumers receive an affordable and dependable supply of water.
The MSN-RO membrane feed pumps have a proven, robust design that has been fine-tuned over years of operating in the desalination sector. Engineered to meet the individual requirements of each application, our axial split multistage pumps deliver optimum performance in this challenging environment.
Like many arid regions around the world, southeastern Spain has long faced significant water shortages. In the early years of the new Millennium, with rising consumer demand and the changing climate exacerbating the challenge, Spain’s government and some regions’ water utilities launched a major desalination initiative. Most of it was developed by Acuamed, which is a public company that reports directly to the Ministry for Environment of the Spanish Government.
Sulzer’s advanced global engineering and manufacturing network has enabled the company to build, deliver and commission 289 high-efficiency desalination pumps to allow construction of the multiple sites in just 18 months. The short build schedule and large number of pumps required the cooperation of several of Sulzer’s facilities to deliver all the pump skids on time.
Making clean, safe drinking water widely available is one of human society’s greatest priorities. 90% of the world’s population currently has access to at least a basic source of potable water, and 71% of people enjoy a managed supply of clean water to their homes. With the aim to further increase availability while controlling costs, utilities are continually investing to expand, upgrade and improve their networks, operations and maintenance processes.
