Seawater desalination
SIMONA® pipes and fittings used in water treatment
Water is one of the most important resources in the world. Due to the growing world population, climate change and the associated decrease in rainfall, this topic is becoming of increasing significance. Globally, water resources consist of 97 per cent of salt or brackish water. For this reason, using these deposits as a means for supplying drinking water for humanity is an obvious solution. This is where seawater desalination technology, using the reverse osmosis principle, comes into play.
With the reverse osmosis technique, seawater or brackish water is treated so it can be subsequently used as drinking water or for industrial purposes. As a supplier of pipes and fittings, SIMONA plays a key role worldwide in the realisation of these projects.
The advantages of our products are obvious: excellent corrosion resistance, long service life of up to 100 years, very smooth inner surface to prevent incrustation, and a high resistance to saline water. As a leading system supplier of PE and PP-H AlphaPlus® pipes and fittings, our products are used in various areas of seawater desalination.
