The Type 45 ships are designed and built by BAE Systems and are the most advanced warships ever produced in the UK, as claimed here. The Pall Integrated Membrane System (IMS)/ freshwater generator is designed to transform any type of sea water into drinkable water.

As a press release adds, sea trials have demonstrated that it works efficiently with the high contamination levels found in some coastal waters. The fully automatic, cleanable IMS helps reduce maintenance tasks and has a lower cost of ownership compared to conventional water treatment systems.Tom Quaye, head of BAE’s Type 45 Class Output Management Team said, “The Type 45 is the largest and most powerful Air Defence Destroyer ever built for the Royal Navy. It is a versatile platform capable of contributing to worldwide maritime and joint operations in multi threat environments. It is essential that these ships can produce fresh water wherever they are operating; we were very pleased with the performance of Pall’s IMS for delivering fresh water supplies during the ship’s deployment.”

“In addition to implementation with UK’s Royal Navy ships, the IMS has operated successfully at many other military, commercial, and disaster relief sites around the world,” commented Vince Northfield, president of Pall Aerospace.
