    The Water Corporation of Western Australia turned on the country's largest seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant back in November 2006, starting the delivery of a planned 45 gigalitres of drinking water a year into the Perth public supply system. Bryan Orchard looks at the technologies involved.
  • Conventional and membrane filtration: Selecting a SWRO pre-treatment system
    Seawater pre-treatment is an integral part of every seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant, used to remove particulates, debris, micro-organisms, suspended solids and silt from the source seawater. But with conventional and membrane filtration to choose from, which is right for you? Nicolay Voutchkov compares the two options.

Siemens to supply seawater reverse osmosis packages to Modec

23 March 2010

Modec has selected Siemens Water Technologies to provide Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) systems for a number of Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels to be operated in deepwater locations.

The SWRO systems, which have a combined value of more than €2 million, will produce low total dissolved solids water from a raw seawater source that will be used as wash water in the crude desalting process.

Modec is a general contractor specialising in engineering, procurement, construction and installation, as well as operation and maintenance services of floating production systems around the world.
 
Siemens Water Technologies has supplied custom-built SWRO systems at more than 50 installations throughout the world, for FPSOs, marine vessels, offshore supply vessels, and offshore military vessels.
