The AQUA freshwater generator from Alfa Laval is designed for automatic operation on rigs and remote onshore locations. Energy for the distillation process is provided from jacket water or a hot water loop. The 3-in-1 plate technology enables desalination in a single plate pack with a single titanium plate. The plate pack slides open for easy access to the interior without an additional service area. The use of corrosion- and erosion-resistant titanium, combined with an optimized process which inhibits natural scaling, ensures that AQUA needs little maintenance.
Sea water processed by the AQUA results in water with a salinity level of less than 2 parts per million.
