Ceramic Strenght that meets Ocean Toughness

A major chemicals and mining company in North Africa relies on seawater desalination – but the Atlantic feedwater is extremely challenging. High algae loads, phosphates and organic matter cause polymeric filtration systems to foul, break and lose stability, putting continuous RO operation at risk.

The solution

Cerafiltec provides the world’s largest ceramic UF seawater pretreatment system, engineered for the Atlantic’s extreme variability. With more than 5,000 ceramic modules across 14 trains, the ceramic design maintains stability where polymers fail — resisting fouling, tolerating aggressive cleaning and delivering consistent, high-clarity water to RO.
