Safe, reliable, and energy-efficient systems for water management
From Singapore and Hong Kong to Barcelona and Dubai, cities around the world depend on ANDRITZ to safely and affordably secure a drinking water supply for a wide variety of urban needs. Many rely on the industry’s most efficient technologies to guarantee a dependable potable water supply with the lowest possible energy consumption.
State-of-the-art systems and expertise
Remotely monitored and unattended plants. Energy-efficient seawater intake and desalination. And dramatically higher capture rates with reduced sludge volume. Thanks to today’s state-of-the-art technologies, potable water and desalination plants are able to achieve levels of safety and efficiency that were previously unimaginable. As a supplier of sludge treatment systems to many of the world’s largest plants, ANDRITZ has been a key partner in enabling this progress.
How can you desalinate more water with less waste?
A lifetime of lower operating costs
In fact, our flexible packages covering seawater intake, pumping, screening (Aqua-Screen fine screen), and dewatering (decanter, filter press) help dozens of major cities worldwide to continuously safeguard their water supply with significantly lower operating costs.
Some, like an innovative geothermal plant in southern France that utilizes seawater for heating and cooling, use our corrosion-resistant Aqua-Guard fine screen to protect equipment for the screen’s full 20-year lifespan (read more).
Whatever your challenge, our comprehensive process knowledge and complete service and solution offerings make it possible to support your needs today and for generations to come.

Quagga mussel resistant water intake screens
Known for blocking water intake systems, quagga mussels increase maintenance costs and disrupt water treatment. Their high reproductive rate worsens these issues, while their plankton consumption harms native species and degrades water quality. To overcome this challenge, ANDRITZ teamed up with scientists to research the habitat and reproductive behavior of quagga mussels and developed a blockage-free water intake solution.
