Scale Smart Desalination Solutions For Water Shortages With Winters' Transmitters And Valves

As fresh water supplies run low around the world, many countries are now looking to the ocean and seas for drinkable water.

To make ocean and seawater drinkable, purification processes such as reverse osmosis or thermal desalination are typically used.

In reverse osmosis, high pressure pumps force seawater through a semi-permeable membrane that acts like a filter. Here, pressure management and monitoring is critical to overcoming fresh water's natural tendency to flow back towards saltier water, and to protect filtration equipment.

In thermal desalination, water is heated and turned into steam to separate it from the salt. In this process, pressure monitoring is critical for controlling pressure levels to ensure efficient evaporation and safe operations.

In arid regions like the Middle East, the southern US, Central America, South America, and the Mediterranean region, governments are increasingly turning to desalination as a critical lifeline for sustaining agriculture and urban living. Nearly half the world's population is expected to be living in areas facing fresh water shortages in the next decade, and the global desalination market is expected to nearly double in size by 2031 to meet this growing demand.

Highly complex and precise, desalination processes rely on accurate instruments and reliable components to produce safe, clean drinking water.

To meet growing demand in this sector, Winters provides an extensive product offering of smart pressure transmitters and valves for precise measurement. In particular, our WinSMART™ transmitter line offers seamless integration with HART®️ and Modbus communications - ideal for smart monitoring of desalination processes. Our valves come with options for Hastelloy C and Monel for added resistance against the corrosive effects of seawater.
