Reverse osmosis is recognized worldwide as the most efficient and reliable solution for producing drinking water on board, using membrane separation technology to convert seawater into fresh water with a high degree of purity.

MCP Marine is the official representative of Gefico, a European company with over 40 years of excellence in the development of seawater desalination systems. We supply new units and provide technical support, maintenance, and refurbishment services for the extensive fleet of Gefico equipment installed in Brazil and Latin America.

Proven technology and efficiency

Reverse osmosis systems operate by using high pressure to force saltwater through semipermeable membranes, thereby retaining salts, impurities, and microorganisms.

Standard process results:

• Removal of 95% to 99% of dissolved salts
• Production of water with a TDS of less than 500 mg/L, free of viruses, bacteria, and organic matter
• Water safe for drinking, cooking, bathing, and onboard technical systems

Autonomous and Adaptive Operation

Each system is designed to be autonomous, intelligent, and adjustable in real time, automatically calibrating operating pressure based on the temperature and salinity of the incoming water —ensuring high performance with maximum energy efficiency, even under varying operating conditions.

Strategic Maintenance for System Longevity

The performance of the desalination plant depends directly on the quality of the water pretreatment and the implementation of good periodic maintenance practices, particularly those aimed at preserving the membranes.

With that in mind, MCP Marine offers:

• 24/7 technical support with immediate response
• Teams trained directly by Gefico
• Guidance on the operation, maintenance, and retrofitting of existing systems
• Local inventory of parts and membranes for prompt service

We are committed to ensuring that your operation never runs out of drinking water, while taking into account the critical nature of the process and the continuity of onboard activities.
