Cutting-edge Pump Technology for Desalination Plants

As population grows and economies expand, they are putting an immense strain on the world’s water supplies. According to the UN World Water Development Report 2024, 2.2 billion people worldwide have no access to clean drinking water.

KROHNE unveils an advanced electromagnetic flowmeter engineered specifically for the water and wastewater industry in North America. Designed with long-term reliability and durability in mind, the ENVIROMAG offers a cutting-edge solution for accurate flow measurement in various water and wastewater applications.

Global demand for essential products like water, gas and oil is growing, which means that pipelines and processing plants such as pressure vessels are getting bigger. To ensure continuity of supply and minimise downtime, maintenance teams need to gain safe and rapid access to critical plants that require servicing or repair.

Over the past two decades, desalination plants have become bigger, more cost-effective and twice as energy efficient. Innovations in pump technology from Sulzer have played a critical part in the transformation of the sector.

Climate change, demographic growth and water scarcity are creating new challenges, and desalination is becoming a crucial alternative to traditional fresh water resources. SAER is ready to face these new scenarios with a strong and effective response: a full range available in duplex and super duplex.

For several years, a pump at the largest production site in Kingsport, Tennessee, USA had been causing the US chemical company Eastman problems: it was operating on a process with water at high temperature and low pressure, generating the entrainment of more than 10% gas by volume in the form of water vapor. This often caused the pumps used to fail.
