The machine uses sea water to produce fresh water. The water produced by the Schenker plant, starting from clean sea water, is potentially drinkable. The requisite of potable water cannot be guaranteed, however, because in some parts of the system there may be a bacterial charge, especially in the event of non-observance of the cleaning and storage procedures.
Functioning principles The Schenker watermakers, as alternative to the high-pressure pumps of traditional systems, utilizes the ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM patented device, which amplifies the pressure of common low-pressure pumps, and recoup all the hydraulic energy back from the membranes, allowing an high energy efficiency.
