AQUA Blue

With smaller piping and no outer shell, AQUA Blue freshwater generators perform vacuum distillation in a minimized space. The latest AQUA Blue E1 technology, which has non-glued gaskets, allows easy regasketing on site.

Three single-stage AQUA Blue versions are available, all producing high-quality fresh water while requiring almost no effort from the crew. The smallest in the family is the AQUA Blue Mini E1, optimized for capacities of 1–15 m3/day, which has a tiny footprint and weighs less than half as much as other AQUA Blue models. In addition, there is the two-stage AQUA Blue E2 freshwater generator, which provides additional capacity and savings opportunities.

Innovative features for smarter freshwater generation

Reliable production of high-quality fresh water

AQUA Blue freshwater generators provide a continuous supply of low-salinity (below 2 ppm) fresh water on board, which is more convenient and economical than bunkering water. Unlike reverse osmosis, which is electrically driven and becomes less efficient for every degree below 25°C, AQUA Blue freshwater generators are thermally driven and offer consistently high performance.

Easy operation and maintenance

AQUA Blue freshwater generators offer start-and-forget operation, with no filters to clog or sensitive membranes to break. Scaling and fouling are easily removed through occasional Cleaning-In-Place (CIP), without having to open the freshwater generator.

On rare occasions when the freshwater generator must be opened, e.g, for gasket replacement, the plate pack simply slides open within the frame – requiring no additional service area. Thanks to the unique non-glued gaskets, operators can easily perform regasketing on site, which means no transporting plates or bunkering extra water.

Advantages for shipyards

Shipowners and operators are not the only ones who benefit from AQUA Blue freshwater generators. Shipyards experience reduced installation work and costs, thanks to the use of smaller seawater pumps and the smaller dimensions of piping and valves. Since the compact design requires no additional service area, fewer accommodations are needed in the engine room.
