Fresh water generation
Our broad portfolio of desalination solutions from 0.5-1000 m3/24hrs, with evaporation technology helps to produce high quality fresh water from seawater utilizing the waste heat onboard. The Alfa Laval AQUA Blue family of freshwater generators redefines compact and efficient, using the three-in-one plate technology that cuts seawater and electrical power requirements in half which lowers your initial investment, simplifies installation and shrinks carbon footprint.
Smart desalination for any capacity
- Desalination onboard – a steady flow of freshwater with quality below 2ppm salinity from 0.5 to 1000 m³/24h.
- Boosts onboard energy efficiency by maximizing heat transfer and minimizing electrical power consumption, reducing fuel usage and lowering emissions.
- Reduce installation time and cost with the efficient and compact product lines.
- Cut operating and maintenance costs – cutting edge design ensure high efficiency as well as reduced maintenance time.
Smart desalination means more than freshwater - it means lower costs, smaller footprint, and greater efficiency for your vessel. Discover how Alfa Laval freshwater generators can transform your onboard operations.

Why include two-stage freshwater generators in vessel specifications?
As the marine industry decarbonizes, more systems are competing for the finite or shrinking amount of waste heat on board. Many vessels already struggle to produce enough fresh water with limited waste heat. Others face uncertain capacity needs tomorrow, or they want to leave more heat for other energy-saving opportunities.
Two-stage freshwater generators can address all these concerns. Yet single-stage freshwater generators are the norm in vessel specifications. Download our white paper for concrete comparisons showing the value of two-stage freshwater generation - and the way 3-in-1 AQUA plate technology can multiply it.

Why AQUA Blue E2 sets a new standard in freshwater generation
High-quality fresh water – the energy-efficient way
AQUA Blue freshwater generators are the energy-efficient choice for producing high-quality fresh water on board. The single-stage AQUA Blue E1 cuts seawater needs and power consumption in half compared to alternative freshwater generation technologies, and the advantages are multiplied in the two stages of the AQUA Blue E2. With a minimum footprint the AQUA Blue E2 create numerous possibilities for saving energy and meeting other sustainability goals.
