[vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][vc_column_text 0=””]When we think about salt water desalination or treatment plants, we picture huge facilities that generate drinking water for domestic or industrial distribution.<\/p>\n

Eco-Sistems opened a new R&D line two years ago to transfer our knowledge of watermakers for ships to medium-sized facilities for land use (hotels, resorts, the fishing industry, ports, golf courses, etc.).<\/p>\n

The idea came about when our clients from the yachting industry told us that ports also have a great need to generate fresh drinking water<\/strong> as energy-efficiently as possible and in sufficient quantities to supply the moored boats and the services of the port itself.<\/p>\n

A machine was designed using our technology that is capable of generating between 2,000 and 4,000\u00a0l\/h, with an 80% energy saving compared to the machines that are already available on the market, and which has been tested continuously for 1 year (10,000 hours).<\/p>\n

About the client: Port Adriano<\/h2>\n

Port Adriano<\/a>, located in Calvi\u00e0, in the south-west of Palma de Mallorca, is one of the Mediterranean’s most modern ports. Designed by Philippe Stark, it is an excellent base for mid-to-long length yachts.<\/p>\n

It has almost 500 berths for boats of up to 80\u00a0m in length, and 87 berths for longer boats. It boasts 25,000\u00a0m2<\/sup> of berths in total, in addition to a 10,000-m2<\/sup> slipway. It is therefore fair to say that this port sees significant marine traffic, especially during the summer months.<\/p>\n

Its nautical visitors are usually fairly demanding when it comes to boat-related services, including the provision of fresh drinking water.<\/p>\n

The challenge<\/h2>\n

The port’s water usage was high and it already provided fresh water to sailors, but as with many ports, it faced several issues that required solving, including the following:<\/p>\n
