Why Aquadviser?

Our first service is a chatbot powered by machine learning and refined by human expertise in reverse osmosis desalination. It provides accurate, actionable answers to technical questions about industrial RO operations, helping you maintain peak system performance. With clear, tailored guidance, it helps troubleshoot issues efficiently and supports faster decision-making—all leading to lower costs and reduced environmental impact.

Why Now?

RO desalination is expanding rapidly, with capacity growing 6% to 12% annually. RO technology is expected to make up 73% of all new desalination installations. However, the industry faces a critical shortage of skilled professionals to support this growth. Aquadviser bridges this gap by providing a chatbot that combines machine learning with expert-reviewed RO membrane knowledge. This ensures operators have immediate access to accurate technical guidance, helping them run desalination plants effectively and reliably in a time of rapid expansion.
