Helping to Meet the World's Demand for Fresh Water

Flowserve and Calder join forces and meet the growing needs of the global seawater reverse osmosis desalination market.

As worldwide demand for clean water continues to grow rapidly and energy costs are on the rise, municipalities and industries are looking for reliable energy-efficient desalination solutions. Having equipped water desalination plants for more than half a century, Flowserve has experience and expertise to meet these challenges.

Flowserve desalination capabilities were expanded earlier this year with the acquisition of Calder, a Swiss company which specializes in equipment used in the reverse-osmosis desalination process. With the addition of Calder’s energy recovery devices and application expertise to its arsenal, Flowserve is uniquely positioned to address and meet the growing needs of the global seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination market. 

By bringing together industry leading pumps and valves, high-quality energy recovery devices, unmatched materials expertise and SWRO-specific application knowledge, the incorporation of Calder enables Flowserve to be a single source provider of complete, integrated flow control solutions to SWRO plants around the work.
