Safe Water on Board
As a vessel or rig owner or operator, you are responsible for the delivery of good (drinking) water quality at all tap points. In essence, the on-board water treatment systems form a small municipal water treatment plant with all the responsibilities and required knowledge to operate it.
At Hatenboer-Water, we understand that this is not your core business. It is, however, ours! Hatenboer-Water can deliver a complete water treatment and distribution plant on board of your ship, vessel, or rig. All individual treatment equipment is perfectly suitable for its intended use on board a vessel or rig. When combined with proper management and maintenance, regular testing, global assistance and advice, and supplemented with more than a century of knowledge, they form an integrated holistic approach to water safety on board. This concept we call Safe Water on Board.
Our decades of experience on board vessels have made us understand that maintaining safe water requires more than just technical equipment; it demands a comprehensive approach encompassing procedures, services, and knowledge.

After the fresh or technical water production or bunkering, it is stored and transported on the vessel. For this purpose post treatment is required to keep the water in a good condition and to prevent damage such as corrosion to the piping system or breakdown by particles. Specific water treatment chemicals are needed for cleaning, conservation or conditioning. Depending on the situation on board the following treatment can be required:
- Neutralizing
- Rehardening (mineralizing)
- Softening
- Demineralizing
- Particle Filtration
- Activated Carbon
- Point-of-use filtration
- Chemical conditioning

A distinct treatment step required is disinfection. Disinfection treatment in water treatment is essential for safeguarding public health by eliminating or reducing the presence of harmful microorganisms in drinking water and ensuring its safety, quality, and compliance with regulatory standards. Water is perishable and therefore prone to fouling and bacterial growth. Prevent this and keep your water supply of safe and constant quality: upgrade your water storage and distribution system with drinking water disinfection technologies such as
For larger or more complex installations, drinking water filter and Disinfection systems and technologies must be combined to comply with health regulations (such as NIPH/NMA, MLC). Consult us to determine which disinfection and filtration technology suits you best.
- Hadex®, an approved continuous drinking water disinfectant.
- Ultra Violet water disinfection by validated, CFD-optimized Demitec systems.
- (Copper/) Silver ionization

Pressure Set
A water pressure set, often referred to as a ''Hydrophore unit'' or simply a "booster pump," is a system used in water supply systems to increase the pressure of water in a vessel or rig, ensuring adequate water pressure for showers, faucets, and technical equipment on board. Hatenboer-Water supplies the separate items required or integrates all on a single skid including piping. The key components are:- Pumps: The heart of the system is a water pump designed to boost the water pressure. These pumps can be of various types, such as centrifugal pumps or multistage pumps, and they are selected based on the specific requirements of the application.
- Control Panel: A control panel or controller is responsible for monitoring and controlling the operation of the booster pump. It can be set up to maintain a desired pressure level, activate the pump when pressure falls below a certain threshold, and deactivate it when the pressure reaches the desired level.
- Pressure Sensors: Pressure sensors or switches are installed in the system to continuously measure the water pressure. These sensors provide input to the control panel, allowing it to make adjustments to the pump operation as needed.
- Check Valves: Check valves are used to prevent backflow or the reverse flow of water into the system. They help maintain the integrity of the system and prevent water from flowing back into the main water supply.
- Pressure Tank: Some booster pump systems may include a pressure tank to provide additional water storage and smooth out pressure fluctuations. The tank helps reduce the frequency of pump starts and stops. Alternatively we provide frequency controlled pumps that serve the same function while saving energy and space.
The selection and design of a water pressure set depend on the specific requirements of the water supply system and the desired pressure levels. Proper sizing and installation are critical to ensure the system functions effectively and efficiently.
Your hot water supply
A calorifier is a type of water heater or heat exchanger used in various configurations to provide a supply of hot water. Key features and functions of our calorifier systems include:- Heat Exchange: A calorifier primarily functions as a heat exchanger. It transfers heat from a primary heat source, such as electricity, steam or thermal oil to the water stored within the calorifier.
- Insulation: Our calorifiers are well-insulated to minimize heat loss and ensure that hot water is readily available when needed and maintains a minimum temperature to prevent bacteriological growth
- Customization: The size and capacity of a calorifier can vary depending on the specific requirements on board.
- Safety Features: Calorifiers may include safety features like temperature and pressure relief valves to prevent overheating and excess pressure.
