Durapipe, Salt of the Earth

06 May 2008

Leading plastic pipework manufacturer, Durapipe UK, is helping supply fresh water to people across the globe as part of Salt Separation Services’ specialist machinery, a company which builds units that turns sea and brackish water into fresh water.

Durapipe is being used in water reclamation systems

The water company has specified Durapipe pipework and valves for carrying seawater, fresh water and cleaning water within its systems throughout the decontamination process - called reverse osmosis - which works by forcing liquid through a membrane at high pressure, leaving salt and other unwanted particles behind.

The company makes bespoke systems to be used in a range of situations and for a variety of clients, from Royal Navy vessels, to oil rigs, to cruise ships. The company recently built two units to supply 120,000 litres of fresh water every day for Ascension Island in the South Atlantic.
