Low-Energy Membrane Desalination Process
Desalination
With drought and population growth increasing demand, desalination has become essential to securing adequate fresh water supply in many regions. However, removing salts and minerals from seawater or brackish sources poses complex challenges.
From Intake to Outfall to Customer Satisfaction
Aquatech’s advanced desalination solutions are helping some of the world’s largest desalination plants reduce their energy and water footprints while delivering the lowest total cost of water.
With desalination experience dating back to the 1950s, we are one of the few companies leading in membrane, thermal, and hybrid water desalination technologies. Throughout our history, we’ve developed cutting-edge desalination technologies, including low-energy Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO), Multiple Effect Distillation (MED), and Multistage Flash (MSF).
Leaders in Thermal, Membrane, and Hybrid Desalination
Thermal Desalination
With experience dating back to the 1950s, Aquatech is a pioneer in delivering thermal desalination technology and projects. We offer extensive experience working with utilities and industry users, creating thermal desalination solutions that integrate into large-scale greenfield and brownfield expansions.
Membrane Desalination
Aquateh is committed to pioneering advancements that tackle the challenges of pretreatment, energy recovery, and water recovery head-on. Our dedication drives us to elevate the lifecycle cost efficiency and reliability of membrane desalination installations.
Hybrid Desalination
Aquatech’s pioneering hybrid desalination systems, backed by decades of experience, seamlessly combine membrane and thermal technologies to optimize energy efficiency, lower operating costs, and provide unmatched adaptability.
Brine Mining & Salt Recovery
Recovering salts from seawater offers major sustainability and economic benefits for industries operating near oceans. Within its resource recovery portfolio, Aquatech provides innovative, integrated solutions to extract high-purity brine or salt crystals while significantly reducing seawater intake.
Desalination Solutions
A Leader in Solutions for Thermal, Membrane & Hybrid Desalination
Check out our video to learn about our extensive desalination experience dating back to the 1950s. Already a leading supplier of membrane technologies, we enhanced our commitment to desalination when we acquired Aqua-Chem ICD, a pioneer in thermal desalination technologies. This allows us to offer the best solution for desalination based on the application, whether it’s a membrane, thermal or hybrid solution.
