Desalination Plants

In many arid regions worldwide—particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, or densely populated coastal areas—seawater desalination serves as a critical cornerstone for ensuring a secure supply of clean drinking water.

Reliable Steam Supply for Thermal Processes

The thermal processes required for these operations place the absolute highest demands on a continuous and reliable steam supply.

To meet these challenges, high-pressure (HP) turbine bypass stations and start-up bypass valves are deployed to expand the steam precisely to the downstream parameters (pressure and temperature) of a backpressure turbine.

High Mass Flows & Stable Process Supply

Engineered for permanently high mass flows, our systems guarantee a highly stable supply to the desalination process during uninterrupted, continuous operation.

High Standards for Steam Quality

The required steam quality presents a unique engineering challenge: Outlet conditions close to saturation temperature, combined with exceptionally high water-to-steam ratios of up to 40%, necessitate a superior evaporative capacity of the injected cooling water.

Large Nominal Diameters for High Mass Flows

The combination of high mass flows and low pressure levels requires exceptionally large dimensions—resulting in massive outlet cross-sections for the bypass stations, with nominal diameters reaching up to DN 2500.
