Water, the elixir of life

One of today's main problems is providing sufficient drinking water for the world's growing population. About three billion people have no direct access to clean potable water. Water is not only fundamental for human life, but is also essential for social development and prosperity. Global water shortage is already a source of great social tension and ecological problems.



As drinking water becomes ever more precious, seawater desalination and water purification are becoming more important. Even in regions where drinking water supplies are now adequate, it won’t be long before new solutions are needed to secure them. As the leading manufacturer of wind power turbines, ENERCON sees a major challenge to accelerate supply using regenerative solutions. Hence, besides the development, manufacture and optimisation of wind power plants, ENERCON’s product portfolio includes research into and implementation of drinking water production systems. ENERCON has been active in drinking water production since the mid-1990s. The modular and energy-efficient desalination systems developed by ENERCON have reached series maturity and represent a sustainable concept for the world’s drinking water and energy supply.
