  • Piping: Duplex stainless steel (high pressure) & Schedule 80 PVC (low pressure)
  • Powder-coated carbon steel frame
• Post-Treatment:
  • Post-chlorination chemical dosing system – final disinfection
  • Caustic dosing system – pH stabilization for potable water
• Containerized Packaging:
  • 40’ HC seaworthy container with A/C and lighting
  • All equipment pre-piped, pre-wired, and factory tested

[custom-specifications]

The resort faced multiple obstacles that required a robust solution:

• Lack of connection to municipal water networks.
• High salinity feedwater (up to 36,000 ppm TDS).
• Organic contaminants and chlorine present in seawater.
• Need for a compact, containerized solution suitable for tropical marine environments.
• Requirement for quick deployment with minimal on-site installation work.
