Reverse Osmosis Desalination Solutions
From containerized solutions to large-scale plants, Fluence provides cost-effective desalination solutions for potable water and industrial process water. To ensure a consistent, reliable, and safe water supply, many communities, water authorities, industries, and private companies are turning to desalination to meet their potable and process water needs. Fluence has more than 30 years of experience in the financing, design, construction, and operation of desalination plants, using its proprietary technologies for municipal, commercial, and industrial clients.
Details
Our high-recovery systems reduce the need for brine disposal and maximize permeate production in the most cost-effective and environmentally sustainable way possible. Fluence has been actively developing technical solutions for brine concentration, with the aim of minimizing discharge costs and environmental footprint. We offer a variety of brine-reduction technologies selected to suit client needs and limitations, including high-recovery reverse osmosis, evaporation ponds, thermal brine concentration, and zero liquid discharge (ZLD).
Our plants, which integrate top-quality components from reliable and well-known suppliers, are fully automated and can be controlled by our innovative Smart Operation system, which enables real-time monitoring and response, and optimization of operating costs.
Securing a Reliable Water Source With Desalination
In a world where water scarcity is a serious and growing problem, desalination can be the key to a reliable source of drinking water or industrial process water.
Contact our experts to discuss your specific project details, and learn how our sustainable desalination solutions can help you meet your goals.
Industry-Leading Desalination Solutions
Fluence provides decentralized, pre-engineered and custom-designed desalination plants that reliably deliver safe drinking water to government entities, municipalities, and private companies, and high-quality process water to industrial operations.
Desalination for Drinking Water
Providing potable water for island populations and remote communities presents special challenges. Where local water sources are limited or unfit for consumption, advanced membrane-based technologies can be applied to treat and desalinate seawater or brackish groundwater. Fluence has extensive experience in developing and delivering water treatment plants to serve these needs.
Fluence’s desalination systems produce drinking water from a wide variety of sources and can be custom-designed to accommodate varying feed-water characteristics and desired finished water quality. Our solutions can also be based on our state-of-the-art, pre-engineered containerized NIROBOX™ systems, the most advanced technology for decentralized desalination.
Fluence also provides emergency relief plants in the wake of natural disasters and as an ongoing water supply for troops in the field.
Fluence designs, manufactures, builds, and operates advanced desalination systems for the production of process water for industrial use. The systems can treat water of any quality, and from a wide variety of water sources, including brackish water and seawater.
Fluence’s systems provide process water for a wide variety of applications, including permeate for cooling and other uses, demineralized water for high-pressure steam boilers, and conditioning of permeate for potable use.
Our seawater desalination systems are equipped with advanced work exchangers, energy-recovery devices (ERDs), high-efficiency positive displacement pumps, and variable-frequency drives (VFDs) on all motors, resulting in the lowest energy consumption in the industry. Our systems feature components and equipment with the latest proven technologies, including:
- Membranes with nanoparticles and composite materials
- Duplex and super duplex high-pressure pipes and fittings
- Fully automated control and monitoring
Best-in-Class Containerized Desalination Systems
NIROBOX™ is Fluence’s state-of-the-art desalination plant housed in a 40-foot shipping container, designed to supply high-quality drinking or process water anywhere in the world, and at the lowest possible cost. Nirobox units are modular, plug-and-play systems that can be deployed in a few months.
Our seawater Nirobox MEGA module can produce up to 1,500 m3/d (400,000 GPD) of desalinated water, all in one container. Our Nirobox SW models are designed with the environment in mind and are the most efficient desalination plants on the market, consuming 25% less power than conventional seawater desalination plants.
With models for seawater and brackish water desalination, the Nirobox is the most cost-effective solution when it comes to meeting drinking water or process water needs in communities and industries.

Ideas for Infrastructure Week 2023
Water plants across the nation need replacing, and there are cost-effective solutions Infrastructure Week started out in 2017 as a way to drum up support for a high-dollar building plan. The vision was long on ambition, but short on commitments. While some have pointed to observations of Infrastructure Week – in 2017 and since — as political posturing, one fact is indisputable: Infrastructure in the United States is due for an overhaul. Consensus around this fact led to the 2021 enactment of the $1...

Preparing for Major Drought in the Western U.S.
As parts of the U.S. face long-term drought, solutions like desalination and water reuse can help fill water needs “It’s really dry,” said Brad Udall, a senior water and climate research scientist at Colorado State University, adding, “the entire Southwest is in some stage of drought.” Udall wasn’t speaking of a transitory drought that will loosen its grip after a season or a climate pattern that will hang on for a few years. He was speaking of a process that scientists are...
