Providing Earth’s growing population with drinking water has become even more difficult. On the other hand, about 70% of our planet is ocean. So EagleBurgmann took on the challenge to create technology that converts water from the ocean to a source of drinking water. Their sealing solutions help to quench the thirst of millions.
There is enough water –
but only a fraction is drinkable
2.2 billion people do not have regular access to clean water. Climate change is worsening the situation.
Water is desperately needed for human beings, but it’s also needed to grow crops. Many of the dryer areas have a coastline but until recently, the desalination of ocean water was not the solution it is now. It was expensive and did not provide enough safe drinkable water.
Modern sealing solutions, as provided by EagleBurgmann, a Freudenberg company, improved the process to such a degree that desalinated water has become a major source of drinking water for whole regions.
Sustainable Technology
Meaningful sustainability improves the lives for the generations to come. And that is what we have been doing for 130 years now.
Providing sealing solutions to solve one of the major problems facing mankind: quenching its thirst.
Our seals might be a comparatively small item in the production but for millions of people they make an enormous difference.
