Freudenberg mechanical seals help turn seawater into drinking water
EagleBurgmann is quenching the thirst
About 70% of our planet is ocean. EagleBurgmann, a Freudenberg company, has pioneered a technology that transforms sea water into a vital source of drinking water. Our 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 get regular access to clean water. Climate change is worsening the situation. Water is desperately needed for human beings, but it’s also crucial for growing crops. Many of the drier areas have coastlines, but until recently the desalination of ocean water was expensive and did not provide enough safe, drinkable water.
Now, there is an improved process, and desalinated water has become a major source of drinking water for many regions of the world – thanks to modern sealing solutions from EagleBurgmann.
EagleBurgmann is a sealing solution provider for all water applications:
- Industrial production
- Desalination
- Water industry
- Sealing technology for baths, thermal pools, spas and water parks
- Transportation and special real estate
