Wedge Wire Screens for Seawater Desalination in Morocco
Client Background
Our client is an engineering company based in Morocco, specializing in seawater desalination projects. They have been a long-term partner of ours, with multiple previous purchases of wedge wire screens for their desalination systems.
Project Requirement
In their most recent order, the client requested an enhancement to the original screen design by adding reinforcement ribs. This modification effectively increases the structural strength and extends the service life of the screens, which is critical in the demanding environment of seawater desalination.

Quality Assurance
We are able to supply equipment in a wide range of materials to suit different applications and corrosive environments. To ensure full traceability and material integrity, we are equipped with a spectrometer for material verification and can provide material certificates upon request.
Why It Matters
In seawater desalination, equipment must withstand highly corrosive conditions. Super Duplex 2507 offers excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking and pitting, making it an ideal choice for this application. The addition of reinforcement ribs further enhances the mechanical durability of the screens, reducing the risk of deformation and extending their operational lifespan.
