Desalination & Seawater Treatment
ForeverPure Place offers a complete range of seawater desalination and brackish water treatment systems for marine, offshore, coastal, and island applications. Our desalination equipment includes high-pressure pump systems, energy recovery devices, RO membrane vessels, and pre-treatment solutions engineered for the demanding requirements of seawater conversion. Whether you need a containerized turnkey system or individual components, our engineering team can spec the right solution for your flow rate and salinity requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial desalination system cost?
Commercial seawater desalination systems range from $14,000 for a 500 GPD watermaker to over $500,000 for large industrial systems producing 100,000+ GPD. The cost depends on capacity, feed water quality, energy recovery options, and whether the system is containerized or skid-mounted. Contact ForeverPure for a detailed quote.
How does seawater desalination work?
Seawater desalination uses reverse osmosis (SWRO) to force saltwater through semi-permeable membranes at high pressure (800-1,000 PSI). The membranes reject 99.5% of dissolved salts, producing fresh drinking water below 500 ppm TDS.
What is the energy consumption of a desalination system?
Modern SWRO desalination systems with energy recovery devices consume 3-6 kWh per 1,000 gallons of product water. This is a 75% reduction from 20 years ago thanks to advances in membrane technology and energy recovery turbines.
Can desalination systems run on solar power?
Yes. ForeverPure offers solar-powered desalination systems combining PV panels, battery storage, and SWRO treatment for fully off-grid operation. Ideal for remote islands and emergency response.
How long does a desalination system last?
A well-maintained system has a 20-25 year lifespan for frame, pumps, and controls. RO membranes need replacement every 3-5 years.
