Katadyn Technology
In order to remove dissolved salts from seawater with a reverse
osmosis membrane, extremely high pressures must be generated. Traditionally,
powerful motors and large amounts of energy were used to generate
the necessary pressures. This was no problem for large vessels that
had plenty of power and space to spare. Therefore, fresh water was
a luxury that few sailors could afford.
The Katadyn Energy Recovery system takes advantage of stored energy
in the high pressure reject water that is typically wasted. The
pressurized reject water is re circulated to the back side of the
piston to aid the next stroke. This energy is kept in the system,
resulting in less work to achieve fresh water.
With this unique technology, Katadyn was able to develop the first,
and only, manual desalinators in the world. The same technology
that allowed efficient hand operation was adapted to higher output
power units to give energy-efficient cruisers access to the "luxury"
of fresh water on demand. Today, watermakers have almost become
standard equipment, and Katadyn leads the way with the most energy
efficient solutions.
