Desalination equipment and seawater treatment components. This section covers the parts that make up a seawater treatment train — high-pressure pumps, energy recovery devices, membrane vessels, and pretreatment. Looking for a complete unit instead? See Seawater Desalination Systems for packaged SWRO machines from 200 GPD to 1,000,000 GPD, or ForeverPure.com for engineered plants built to a specification.
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?
ForeverPure watermakers are priced openly at the small end, currently: $9,822.60 for the 200 GPD system and $12,183.05 for the 500 GPD, both shown on their product pages. Above the standard watermaker range, commercial and industrial systems are quoted per project, because cost is driven by feed salinity, recovery target, energy recovery, automation and post-treatment far more than by capacity alone. 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.
