Water and Wastewater Industry
Water Transport and Distribution

Around the world, reserves of pure drinking water are being depleted. The need for water conservation is growing, and better ways are being found to process industrial wastewater and treat sewage in urban areas. Sulzer Pumps is part of the effort. We are applying our engineering and contracting know-how in major water handling projects the world over. We offer pumping solutions for modern reverse osmosis plants, where seawater is transformed into water fit for human consumption. Our pumps are delivering vast quantities of fresh water over long distances to people in some of the world’s most populous regions.


Water Systems

Large Pumps and Systems

An effective water supply network is essential to the infrastructure of every country. The very existence of human beings, animals and agricultural prosperity is dependent on adequate quantities of clean water. The rapid growth of population in large agglomerations is leading increasingly to shortages of water as the existing supply systems become overloaded. As a consequence, supplies have to be upheld with water acquired from distant reservoirs, such as natural or artificial lakes. Before it reaches its destination, the water has to pass through kilometres of pipeline. Sulzer Pumps delivers large water transport and booster pumps to bring the water on its way.

Desalination

The need for high-quality water significantly increased during the second half of the last century. An important problem is about to be solved at a near-affordable cost. The cost of desalinated water is decreasing.
