Finnish cruise ship supplier Evac Group ai[ds_preview]ms to broaden its market share in fresh water supply systems by entering segments with smaller vessels.
In the past, Evac was primarily known in the business with large cruise vessels.Systems for those vessels are built to process 200 to 1,100 cubic meters of water per day. Now a new desalination plant using reverse osmosis is supposed to bring the same quality to smaller passenger and merchant vessels, naval ships, and offshore vessels and platforms.
»We received lots of customer requests to provide Evac’s complete cleantech solution for offshore and smaller vessels,« says Ljubo Jurisevic, Managing Director of Evac Germany and President of Evac Global Cruise. ROSYS M is designed for mid-sized ships.
Reverse osmosis entails a multiple-step process taking in seawater, pressurizing it, filtering out solids and suspended particles, and putting it under pressure again to push it through a membrane. The resulting fresh water is treated with chlorine and undergoes pH checks to meet World Health Organization standards. With ROSYS M, the Evac product range now includes plants with a daily freshwater generation capacity of 30, 60, 90, or 120 cubic meters per 24-hour period.
The 1979 established Evac Group has undertaken several expansion steps in the past. 2015 and 2016, it took over the traditional German Deerberg Group and the competitor Uson Marine respectively. The company’s turnover was 98 mill. € in 2015, the net profit was 7.8 mill. €.
