ForeverPure SWRO-10kGPD — 10,000 GPD Mobile Containerized Seawater Desalination System
The ForeverPure SWRO-10kGPD is a plug-and-play mobile desalination system built inside a compact 9-foot ISO shipping container, producing 10,032 gallons per day (38 cubic meters per day) of fresh, potable drinking water from seawater up to 36,000 ppm TDS. Product water quality is less than 400 ppm TDS, meeting World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water standards. This self-contained, relocatable unit is purpose-built for rapid deployment in disaster relief, emergency response, remote communities, and mobile operations where fresh water infrastructure does not exist.
True plug-and-play design: the entire system arrives fully assembled, factory-tested, and ready to operate. Connect three lines (power, seawater in, freshwater out) and the system begins producing drinking water within hours — no on-site engineering, fabrication, or specialized labor required. The standard ISO container format means it can be shipped anywhere in the world by truck, rail, barge, or cargo vessel and repositioned as needs change. Designed, manufactured, and tested in Santa Clara, California, USA by ForeverPure Corporation (est. 1997).
Ideal for Disaster Relief, Emergency Response, and Remote Deployment
The SWRO-10kGPD mobile containerized desalination system is purpose-engineered for rapid deployment to any location where fresh water is urgently needed. Its plug-and-play containerized design eliminates the weeks of on-site construction that conventional desalination plants require. Typical deployment scenarios include:
- Disaster relief and humanitarian response — Deploy within days after hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, or floods to provide immediate safe drinking water for affected populations. Used by NGOs, FEMA, Red Cross, military, and government emergency management agencies.
- Military and government forward operating bases — Self-sufficient water supply for remote or forward-deployed installations without dependence on supply convoys.
- Island communities and remote coastal villages — Permanent or semi-permanent freshwater independence for communities without municipal water infrastructure.
- Resorts, hotels, and hospitality properties — Reliable on-site water production for island and coastal properties.
- Marine and offshore facilities — Ports, fish processing plants, offshore platforms, and shipyards.
- Mobile and temporary operations — Construction sites, mining camps, event venues, and film production locations near coastal water sources.
- Agricultural operations — Seawater-to-irrigation conversion for coastal farms.
- Hospitals, schools, and public institutions — Critical water supply for healthcare and education in water-scarce coastal regions.
Plug-and-Play Design — What Makes This Mobile System Different?
Unlike conventional desalination systems sold as loose components requiring weeks of on-site assembly and commissioning, the ForeverPure SWRO-10kGPD is a true plug-and-play mobile desalination unit that arrives ready to operate:
- Zero on-site engineering or fabrication — every component is factory-installed, wired, plumbed, and tested before shipping. Connect power + water lines and start producing fresh water.
- Rapid deployment — from delivery to first glass of drinking water in as little as one day. Critical advantage for disaster relief and emergency response timelines.
- Fully relocatable — standard ISO container dimensions mean the system can be picked up by crane, loaded onto a flatbed truck, and moved to a new site. Deploy temporarily during a crisis, then relocate permanently to a community that needs it.
- Minimal site preparation — only a flat pad, power connection, seawater intake pipe, and product water line are needed. No foundation, building, or permanent structure required.
- Factory quality control — every system is wet-tested with actual water pressure before shipping to verify performance meets specifications.
- All-weather protection — the rugged steel ISO container protects all components from rain, sun, salt spray, sand, dust, and extreme temperatures.
- Global transportability — ships by truck, rail, barge, or ocean cargo vessel to any port or landing point in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much fresh water does the SWRO-10kGPD produce per day?
The ForeverPure SWRO-10kGPD produces 10,032 gallons per day (GPD), which equals 38 cubic meters per day. This is enough fresh drinking water to supply approximately 250 to 350 people per day at typical consumption rates, or to serve a mid-size resort, hotel, or small coastal community.
What quality of water does this desalination system produce?
The system produces potable (drinking) grade water with less than 400 ppm total dissolved solids (TDS) from seawater feed up to 36,000 ppm TDS. This exceeds WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines for safe drinking water quality. The built-in post-treatment includes chlorine disinfection and pH adjustment to deliver ready-to-drink water.
Can this containerized desalination system run on solar power or a generator?
Yes. The system requires a 10 HP (60 Hz) or 15 HP (50 Hz) three-phase power supply and is fully compatible with diesel generators, solar photovoltaic arrays with battery storage, or wind power systems. The VFD-compatible motor and pump allow variable-speed operation, which is ideal for renewable energy sources with fluctuating output. Many customers deploy this system in off-grid locations powered entirely by solar panels and batteries.
How long does it take to install the containerized desalination system?
Because the SWRO-10kGPD arrives fully assembled and factory-tested inside the 9-foot ISO container, on-site installation is minimal. Typical commissioning takes 1 to 3 days and requires only connecting the power supply, seawater intake pipe, product water discharge line, and brine reject line. No on-site fabrication, welding, or specialized engineering is needed. Site preparation is limited to a flat concrete pad or compacted gravel surface capable of supporting approximately 2,500 pounds.
How much does a 10,000 GPD containerized desalination system cost?
Pricing for the ForeverPure SWRO-10kGPD containerized desalination system depends on configuration options such as power supply voltage, additional pre-treatment requirements, and spare parts packages. Contact ForeverPure Corporation at (408) 969-2688 or email sales@foreverpureplace.com for a detailed quotation tailored to your project requirements.
What maintenance does a seawater RO desalination system require?
Daily maintenance includes checking pre-filter differential pressure, recording system pressures, flow rates, and product water TDS. Sediment filter cartridges should be replaced approximately every 2 months. Membrane clean-in-place (CIP) is recommended every 3 to 6 months depending on feed water conditions. The Danfoss APP 3.0 pump oil level should be checked monthly and valve inspection performed annually. ForeverPure provides a complete preventive maintenance schedule and operation manual with every system.
Where is this desalination system manufactured?
The ForeverPure SWRO-10kGPD is designed, manufactured, assembled, and factory-tested entirely in Santa Clara, California, USA (Silicon Valley). ForeverPure Corporation has been manufacturing water treatment equipment in the USA since 1997. All systems comply with American manufacturing standards and are built with premium components from leading global manufacturers including Danfoss (Denmark), LG NanoH2O and Toray (membrane technology), Codeline (pressure vessels), WEG (motors), and Siemens or Allen-Bradley (PLC controls).
