Within the marine world Wärtsilä’s Fresh Water Generators (FWG) are known as standard for on-board freshwater production. Ship owners, builders and operators can source from the widest range of freshwater making technologies available to the market today. This range includes Reverse Osmosis plants, Multi Flash Evaporators, Horizontal inner Tube Evaporators, Single Stage Desalination plants, or a combination of these. Also a growing number of land-based applications is fitted with our equipment. In choosing Wärtsilä as your freshwater production partner you secure a flexible, reliable and fully automated solution.
Our diverse and dedicated team of engineers is developing, manufacturing and distributing freshwater solutions for and to customers worldwide. Thanks to a creative out-of-the-box mindset, this team excels in innovative and specialist solutions, bespoke set-ups that require a high customer focus.
Every successful implementation of a fresh water generator starts with an accurate analysis of the vessel's status, identifying possibilities and needs. In each case our team will strive for a solution that is most energy and space efficient. A higher energy efficiency, for instance, can often be reached by looping to energy sources already available on a vessel. Greater flexibility in construction and sizing can be accomplished by making a combination of different FWG technologies. This approach especially comes in handy when retrofitting engine rooms.
Over 125 years of experience in designing & manufacturing fresh water generators for the marine industry
Our freshwater division in Geesthacht, Germany, is also known as Wärtsilä Serck Como GmbH and part of the bigger Wärtsilä Water & Waste business unit.
The company’s expertise in freshwater generation is unrivalled: in 1894 Serck Como started producing its first evaporator for sea-going vessels. Having survived two world wars, we know what it means to adapt to ever changing circumstances. We believe that it is important to both invest in own innovations and to adapt to new external trends. As water maker specialist our focus is on the future. We are confident to come up with new solutions for technical challenges that may come our way.
Fresh water generators form a part of a much wider water & waste product range, offered by Wärtsilä’s eponymous “Water & Waste” business unit.
