Schenker Watermakers

With a background in Marine Desalination made for cruisers, racers & ocean rowers, Schenker now have a range of emergency portable water solutions made for any requirement. The Wiki is their latest portable watermaker, making 30 litres an hour for 9 AMPS at 12V. The other option is the Aquatrek. The Aquatrek is built into a tough military grade wheels case, that includes the watermaker itself, available in 30 or 50 litres per hour. Find out more by clicking below.

Schenker Watermaker Technology

The traditional reverse osmosis watermakers make use of high pressure pumps. The high pressure pumps are necessary to increase the pressure of the seawater (up to 50-60 BAR) and activate the reverse osmosis process, producing freshwater. High pressure pumps consume a great amount of power. For instance, to produce 60 lit/hour of freshwater, the consumed energy is, on average, 1.5 - 2.0Kilowatts. Most traditional watermakers need a 220V generator onboard.

Schenker watermakers, use a new device (Energy Recovery System) that amplifies the pressure supplied by low pressure pumps and recover most of the spent energy, This enables very high energy efficiency. The consumed energy is up to 80% lower than a traditional system (example: only 240watts to produce 60 lit/h). Thanks to this high efficiency, Schenker watermakers are powered directly from service batteries, without the need for a generator. The main advantages of this new technology are summarised below:

  • Direct power supply from service battery (12 or 24 VDC). A generator is not necessary.

  • Very low electric consumption ( less than 80% of a traditional system. i.e. only 100 watt for 35 lit/h).

  • Materials used are totally corrosion free

  • Self regulating pressure

  • Very quiet running and vibration free.

  • High reliability, thanks to the reduction of moving parts and slow cycling.

  • The most compact dimensions in its category.

  • Excellent value for money.
