Safe potable water onboard offshore and ship applications is not a "sure thing".  A number of factors may cause the concentration of microorganisms in the potable water systems to increase above safe level. Disinfection is the most common remedy for preventing the spread of water borne diseases from pathogenic microorganisms.

Enwa deliver a range of disinfection solutions for offshore & ship applications to assure the optimal solution for the individual vessel or installation.  The products range from gatekeepers to prevention systems and are based on the following technologies:

• Ultraviolet (UV) radiation
• AOP (Advanced Oxidation Process)
• Silver and copper ionization
• Ultrafiltration (UF)

For offshore units operating on the Norwegian continental shelf, the guideline “Safe, Sufficient and Good Potable Water Offshore” issued by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, NIPH, applies (NIPH 2017, Water Report 129).
