All the nice-to-have features of fresh water generators

Manufacturers of onboard freshwater generating systems continue to expand on capacity and performance, writes Wendy Laursen.

Salt Separation Services is delivering reverse osmosis systems to Meyer Werft.

Hydrofoss of Denmark has developed a fresh water generator that doesn’t require anti-scaling chemicals during operation. These chemicals prevent salt and minerals from attaching on the hot evaporator surfaces inside the generator. “We have managed to solve the scaling problem via a combination of special designed titanium evaporator plates and ultrasonic modules mounted close to the evaporator module,” says company owner Mads Willum.
