NE-SWRO 100TPD Desalination Container

1: What is the daily freshwater production capacity and typical application?
The system produces up to 100 m³ of freshwater per day, suitable for approximately 500–600 people for daily drinking and domestic use. 

It is commonly used in cargo vessels, offshore platforms, island communities, industrial zones, and remote off-grid areas. Actual population coverage may vary depending on water consumption patterns and operating hours.

2: What is the maximum feed water TDS the system can handle?
The system is designed to treat seawater with a maximum TDS of up to 40,000 ppm. For special or complex water sources, a feed water analysis report is recommended for optimized system configuration.

3: How do I calculate the required system capacity?
System sizing should be based on required freshwater output per hour or per day, rather than raw seawater intake volume. This ensures accurate capacity matching and efficient system selection.

4: Is the system containerized and fully integrated?
Yes. The system is a fully containerized, plug-and-play desalination unit, with all major components pre-installed and factory-tested. On-site installation mainly requires connection of water and power utilities.

5: What is the system configuration and control method?
The system includes an integrated control panel with centralized monitoring and automatic operation. It is equipped with an automatic backwashing system, full electrical control system, and a frequency-controlled high-pressure pump to ensure stable and efficient operation. Pretreatment is included to protect RO membranes and extend system lifespan.

6: How much installation space is required?
A standard 100 TPD system is typically installed in a 40-foot container (approximately 12.2 × 2.4 × 2.6 m external standard container size). The footprint depends on final configuration and layout.

7: What is the difference between containerized and skid-mounted systems in terms of cost?
Containerized systems generally have an additional 10–15% cost increase compared to skid-mounted systems due to container housing, integration, and factory assembly. The price difference depends on configuration and project requirements.

8: What are the advantages of containerized systems?
Containerized systems offer fast deployment, high integration, easy transportation, compact structure, and mobility between project sites. They are especially suitable for temporary, remote, or multi-site applications.

9: Can the system be equipped with an energy recovery device (ERD)?
Yes. ERD can be added to recover part of the energy from the high-pressure brine stream, reducing overall operating cost. However, it will increase initial investment and should be evaluated based on project ROI requirements.

10: Can the system run on solar or renewable energy?
Yes. The system supports integration with solar PV, hybrid battery storage systems, diesel generators, or grid power, making it suitable for both on-grid and off-grid applications.

11: What is the power supply requirement?
Standard configuration is AC 380V / 50Hz, with customizable voltage and frequency options depending on project location. Customization does not typically require additional cost.

12: What is the operating cost of a 100 TPD system?
Operating cost depends on local electricity price and system configuration. As a reference:

• Installed power: ~30 kW
• Daily energy consumption (24h operation): ~720 kWh
• Example electricity cost (1 USD/kWh): ~720 USD/day (energy only)
  Additional costs include consumables (filters, membranes) and maintenance. Actual OPEX varies by project conditions.

13: What is the energy consumption of the system?
With an installed power of approximately 30 kW, continuous 24-hour operation results in a daily energy consumption of about 720 kWh/day, depending on operating conditions and recovery rate.

14: Can the system use wind or hybrid energy sources?
Yes. The system is compatible with wind power, solar energy, grid electricity, or hybrid configurations, and can be designed based on project-specific energy availability and cost optimization.

15: Can multiple systems be operated in parallel?
Yes. Multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase total capacity. Modular expansion allows flexible scaling for future demand growth.

16: Why do container sizes differ between systems?
Container size depends on system capacity and configuration. Smaller systems (e.g., 60–80 TPD) can fit into 20GP containers, while larger systems typically require 40-foot containers or multi-container configurations.

17: Can the system be supplied without a container?
Yes. The system can also be provided in skid-mounted form, depending on installation requirements and project preferences.

18: Is the system suitable for remote or off-grid areas?
Yes. It is widely used in islands, offshore platforms, and remote coastal regions, especially where grid power is unstable or unavailable.

19: Can the system be installed without professional engineers?
Yes. The system is pre-assembled and requires only basic pipe connection and power connection on site. Operation and maintenance can be learned through manuals and video guidance. Remote technical support is available. On-site engineer support can be provided if required (travel costs apply).

20: Does the system require chemical cleaning during operation?
No chemical cleaning is required for normal operation. Routine maintenance such as flushing and filter replacement is sufficient.

21: How is brine (concentrated seawater) discharged?
Brine can be discharged directly to sea in compliant coastal projects or treated using a brine management/discharge system depending on local environmental regulations.

22: How fast can the system be deployed and commissioned?
Due to its high integration level, deployment and commissioning typically take 1–2 weeks after arrival on site, depending on utility readiness.

23: What maintenance is required?
Routine maintenance includes filter replacement, membrane cleaning, and system inspection. Maintenance requirements are low and simple to perform.

24: Can the system be used for different project locations?
Yes. The containerized design allows relocation and reuse across multiple projects, making it suitable for temporary, emergency, or multi-site water supply applications.

25: What certifications does the system have?
The system is manufactured under international quality standards (e.g., CE, ISO-based quality management system). Additional certifications or origin documents can be provided depending on project requirements.

26: What is the service life of the system?
With proper operation and maintenance, the system has a typical service life of 10–15 years, depending on operating conditions and water quality.

27: Do you have project references or case studies?
Yes. We are a professional seawater desalination equipment manufacturer with over 15 years of experience, serving global clients. Project references and case studies can be provided upon request through our sales team.
