A recent report revealed that Spaniards comprise nearly 50% of the world's saltiness

The other two additional orders are for energy recovery turbines and a retrofit of an existing Dual Work Exchanger Energy Recovery (DWEER) installation. The combined value of the three orders for these projects total more than 2.2 million Euros (3 million USD) and represent more than 100,000 cubic meters (25 million gallons) of daily de-salination capacity.

“We are pleased with how global de-salination customers have responded to our acquisition of CALDER de-salination products and technologies, which gives us increased confidence in the strong growth potential of these new Flowserve products,” said Lewis Kling, Flowserve president and chief executive officer.

“Throughout the world, population growth and urbanization are creating the need for fresh water in areas where demand exceeds supply. Flowserve recently acquired CALDER energy recovery products and technology for global de-salination projects to compliment our existing flow management products, and to help countries around the world meet their growing water needs through de-salination,” added Kling. “As we continue to work hard to expand our market share in the water industry, we look forward to not only providing the energy recovery devices needed for a more energy efficient de-salination process, but also our total integrated de-salination flow control system including pumps, valves and seals. We will also support this de-salination market through Flowserve’s extensive Quick Response Center (QRC) network and hundreds of sales support team members worldwide.”

Spain is the largest de-salination market in the Mediterranean region, which has experienced water shortages. Other Mediterranean countries are similarly investing in de-salination technology.
