Desalination

The usable fresh water in the world amounts to 0.01 % of the world's water. There is no doubt that water demand is increasing with the growth of population and industrialization. Consequently, the necessity of seawater desalination plants is rapidly increasing. This requires innovative pumping solutions to provide clean drinking water to all.

Desalination pumps are required to operate in harsh climates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; they must be highly durable, resistant to corrosion from seawater, and outstanding efficiency to minimise power consumption.

Torishima has met the challenge of those demands and has supplied pumps for a wide range from low to high pressure applications for all desalination processes, MSF, MED and RO, for 40 years. There are now over 3000 pumps operating in desalination plants in about 30 countries around the world. Our global desalination projects include some of the largest desalination plants currently in operation.
