Turning seawater into solutions: sustainable desalination with ANDRITZ

With global freshwater demand projected to outpace supply by 40% by 2030, seawater desalination is no longer optional — it’s essential. ANDRITZ delivers cutting-edge, sustainable solutions that transform seawater into a reliable source of clean water for communities and industries worldwide.

Only 2.5% of the world’s water is freshwater, and even less is accessible for human use. As climate change and population growth intensify water scarcity, desalination offers a lifeline—especially since 80% of the global population lives near coastlines. ANDRITZ is at the forefront of this transformation, providing advanced technologies that make desalination more efficient, reliable, and environmentally responsible.


Our comprehensive portfolio covers the entire desalination process—from seawater intake to brine treatment and freshwater delivery. We offer:


  • High-efficiency centrifugal pumps made from corrosion-resistant duplex and super duplex stainless steel, ideal for Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants. These pumps ensure minimal maintenance and maximum performance across intake, pretreatment, high-pressure, and backwashing stages.
  • Environmentally friendly offshore screening systems that protect aquatic life and reduce onshore treatment needs by filtering debris and solids at the source.
  • Robust dewatering solutions like decanter centrifuges and filter presses that minimize sludge volume and support safe, cost-effective disposal.
  • Integrated Industrial IoT solutions for real-time monitoring and optimization of plant operations.

From a high-altitude desalination plant in Chile’s Atacama Desert to the world’s largest desalination plant in Oman, ANDRITZ technologies are trusted globally to deliver sustainable water solutions.

With decades of expertise in pumping and separation, we are your single-source partner—from engineering and testing to manufacturing and after-sales service.
