Our seawater vapor compression distillation technology delivers high-efficiency desalination by recycling vapor heat through advanced mechanical compression, providing a cost-effective and energy-saving solution for reliable fresh water production.
Seawater Vapor Compression Distillation
- Aqua-Chem’s seawater vapor compression distillation systems feature our proven horizontal spray film design and can operate using electric heat, steam, or a hybrid configuration, giving operators maximum flexibility for efficient seawater desalination. Engineered to recycle latent heat energy, these systems deliver exceptional energy efficiency while requiring significantly less pretreatment than alternatives like reverse osmosis, all while ensuring effective removal of salts, bacteria, organics, and other impurities.
- Aqua-Chem offers a range of standard seawater vapor compression models and can custom-design systems to meet your specific capacity and performance needs. With reduced energy consumption and less demanding feedwater requirements compared to multi-effect distillation systems, our technology provides a reliable and sustainable solution for seawater purification. Designed for practicality, all components are accessible at floor level, with compressors and pumps positioned for easy maintenance, and our low-speed compressor technology helps extend equipment life, reduce bearing temperatures, and minimize downtime.
