The convenience and efficiency of Alfa Laval AQUA freshwater generation technology is now available to a wider range of vessels. With its tiny footprint and low OPEX, the new AQUA Blue Mini meets needs of 1–18 m3 of fresh water per day – creating a smarter alternative to bunkered water or reverse osmosis.
Introduced in 2008, AQUA freshwater generation technology uses a revolutionary 3-in-1 process where evaporation, separation and condensation occur in a single plate pack. Compact and energy efficient, this game-changing technology can now be used to meet smaller needs.
In the years since its launch, the AQUA Blue freshwater generator has become a leading choice for vessels with a larger need of fresh water. Able to produce up to 60 m3 of high-quality fresh water per day, the AQUA Blue C-type and S-type offer major space and energy savings over previous freshwater generators. For vessels needing fewer cubic metres, however, the capital investment in AQUA technology has sometimes outweighed the efficiency.
This changes with the AQUA Blue Mini, which is specifically designed for 1–18 m3 per day.
In fact, the AQUA Blue Mini will be attractive to a whole new range of customers, including some who have never previously considered a thermally driven freshwater generator. Local fishing boats and smaller coastal vessels, for example, now have a smaller, smarter alternative to bunkered water or reverse osmosis.
In contrast to reverse osmosis, which is electrically driven, the AQUA Blue Mini runs on waste heat and uses only a small amount of electrical power. Moreover, its maintenance is limited to occasional Cleaning-In-Place(CIP) and fast, easy changes of the non-glued gaskets. Together, these facts mean lower OPEX for any vessel.
