Product Overview
CM Aquatechnik supplies complete water treatment systems pre-installed in 20ft and 40ft ISO standard shipping containers for remote sites, emergency water supply, military camps, disaster relief, and rapid deployment. Each container plant includes pre-treatment, RO or UF membranes, post-treatment, storage, distribution pump, control panel, and all utilities (lighting, ventilation, electrical distribution board). Connect water inlet and electricity — the plant is ready to operate.
For coastal sites, islands and offshore installations, containerised plants are also available as seawater reverse osmosis systems.
Frequently asked questions
What capacities are available in a containerised RO plant?
Plant capacities range from 5 to 500 m³/day, depending on whether a 20ft or 40ft ISO container is used. For larger demands, several containers can be linked together to increase the total output.
Which feed water sources can be treated?
Containerised plants are designed for brackish water, seawater, surface water and borehole water, using RO or UF membranes with the appropriate pre-treatment and post-treatment. Typical output quality is below 500 mg/L TDS for brackish water RO and below 300 mg/L TDS for seawater RO.
What is needed on site to put the plant into operation?
No civil works are required: the container only needs a water inlet and a 400 V three-phase supply or a generator. Commissioning takes less than four hours from water in to water out, and remote monitoring via satellite or GSM allows unmanned operation.
What information do you need for a quotation?
Please send us the feed water source and a water analysis, the required daily output and product water quality, the site location and ambient conditions, the available power supply, the transport route, any storage and distribution requirements, and whether remote monitoring is needed. Send us your requirements and we will prepare a proposal within 48 hours.
