Lamor Corporation provides Reverse Osmosis-systems for brackish and seawater treatment.
Finland has been one of the leading countries in cruise vessel construction for decades, and various large cruise companies such as Royal Caribbean, TUI and Carnival have purchased their vessels from Finnish shipyards. For years cruise line companies have been concerned about fuel consumption and recently this has extended to their CO2 footprint. Now this same trend has reached aquaculture.
Finnish companies who have delivered Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems to cruise vessels have been forced to pay exceptional attention to the systems' energy efficiency. Modern RO technology has changed rapidly in terms of process design during the past 10 years and the development of the energy recovering units have also brought some variables to the equation.
In simplified terms it can be said that currently there are two types of energy recovery units in the market. The first energy recovery device (ERD) developed - which is still available - was the turbo-type unit which collected reject water and spun a turbine. The compression turbine made the pressure increase to the membrane inlet water. A few years later a Danish company developed an ERD-unit which also uses the reject water pressure to increase the inlet water pressure, but this process happens through a pressure exchanger.
Energy efficiency can also be increased by methods other than equipment. Of course, friction losses in the pipelines and the pumps play a significant role but even better results can be achieved with intelligent process design. By selecting the membrane quantities according to the actual need, fine tuning the produced water quality and calculating all the key elements together, the energy consumption can be minimized. These same principles also apply to aquaculture and the same know-how can be adapted to live fish carriers.
But how does intelligent process design and equipment selections affect operating costs? The simple math shows that by reducing energy consumption by 1 kW/produced cubic metre, the average sized live fish carrier operator could save about 100,000 USD and 350 Tons of CO2 annually.
Easy and flawless operation is one of our strengths, and the developed automation software and user interface guarantees a stress-free operation experience for the users. Our reverse osmosis systems can provide you with fresh water safely, efficiently, economically and reliably.
Modern pre-treatment methods enable the extended lifetime of the RO membranes. We have collected the data from the systems and serviced our equipment for years. By providing this information to our development team we create even better solutions. This operation model has been the cornerstone of our development and provides the easy and flawless operation our customers enjoy today.
Lamor also offers a wide variety of other cost-efficient, customizable water treatment, oil spill response, and waste management solutions worldwide. Learn more about our solutions at lamor.com and contact us today for a personal quote.

The dining table disappeared beneath a lavish procession of dishes. Our family took food seriously. It was sacred, even. Dinner was never merely about eating. It was the one time each day when everyone was expected to gather, regardless of schedules, moods or whatever else the world demanded outside that room. At the centre sat the pièce de résistance: a whole steamed fish, usually sea bass, topped with ribbons of ginger and spring onion in a fragrant pool of oil and soy sauce. Alongside it were...
Archaeologists have long found a disturbing pattern in the graves of ancient rulers: the dead were sometimes accompanied by other dead. Around royal tombs, the remains of people – who appear to have been killed specifically to follow their masters into the afterlife – lie alongside precious objects and weapons. A new study from Egypt has brought this practice back into the news. At the ancient royal cemetery of Abydos, archaeologists re-examined the skulls of people buried around the tombs of...
When Sonia Chandiramani lost her mum to ovarian cancer in 2017, she found solace in an unexpected place: the rugby pitch. “I was spending five nights a week with my team, plus weekends,” says the 33-year-old Chandiramani, who had been playing since she was 14. “It was my second family. “At her funeral, people showed up, and it meant a lot,” she says. “It’s just a reminder that there are more families than just your family.” Two years later, Chandiramani and some fellow players established...
Despite two much-maligned live-action film adaptations inspired by the popular fighting video game Street Fighter in the past several decades – its namesake 1994 film and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) – it seems Hollywood has yet to give up on the franchise. Paramount Pictures just premiered its live-action reboot film Street Fighter starring Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa and Callina Liang. The film’s plot follows the game’s fighter avatars Ryu (Koji) and his estranged...
