SWRO - Sustainable Desalination for Unlimited Freshwater

Desalinated potable water for commercial vessels, fishing boats, sailing boats, and small port applications, etc.

Clean Water Anywhere, Anytime
The LiqTech SWRO units are suitable for small commercial vessels, fishing boats, sailing boats, small port applications, and generally all places with access to seawater and where desalinated, potable water is needed.

To ensure potable water quality, the LiqTech SWRO is equipped with a conductivity sensor that continuously measures the water's salinity.

Reverse Osmosis Principle
The reverse osmosis principle utilizes a polymeric membrane, which is a thin, semi-permeable membrane to produce clean water. The RO-membrane allows pure water to pass through while impurities such as salts, dissolved solids, bacteria, and viruses are rejected. Reverse osmosis is a clean way of producing pure water as it does not add or use any chemicals to purify the water.

The LiqTech SWRO is constructed using only high-quality components to ensure long life and low maintenance cost, delivering significant advantages to your business.

Filtration Process For SWRO

Filtration Process for SWRO

The LiqTech SWRO unit is a direct flow reverse osmosis (RO) appliance that offers high-quality, clean potable water.  The system automatically flushes in start-stop scenarios, ensuring membrane conservation for shorter periods of downtime.  As the Liqtech SWRO unit does not rely on an external accumulation tank, it provides high production and availability.

The LiqTech system is a compact solution that utilizes RO to desalinate seawater. This is a clean way of producing pure water as it does not add or use any chemicals to clean the water. The RO principle utilizes a thin, semi-permeable, polymeric membrane. The membranes remove up to 99 % of dissolved solids, minerals, and salts, which deliver exceptionally pure freshwater.

Polymeric membranes are highly applicable for reverse osmosis as the organic material ensures the most optimal and durable performance for this type of filtration due to the dense pore size.

In practice, seawater enters the SWRO unit, and pressure is applied. The RO-membrane allows pure water to pass through while impurities such as chlorine, heavy metals, dissolved solids, ions, bacteria, and viruses are rejected. This ultimately delivers a concentrated stream of sludge consisting of dissolved solids, minerals, salts, and a permeate stream of extremely clean potable freshwater.

The retentate can safely and sustainably be discharged back to sea as it only contains low concentrations of the same natural elements as are in the feed seawater.

We are also ready to assist you with SWRO pre- and post-treatment

At LiqTech, we also offer pre- and post-treatment solutions. The LiqTech SWRO unit can operate with most types of pre- and post-treatment. The SWRO unit merely needs a simple pre-treatment to protect the membranes and the pump, which can be, e.g., a 5-micron sediment filter. A remineralization filter can be utilized as post-treatment to add healthy minerals.

At LiqTech, we can assist you with the right filters for pre- and post-treatment and specialist knowledge in terms of how to operate the SWRO best.

  1. SWRO Pretreatment

    5µm cartridge pre-filter, Ion exchange, etc.

  2. SWRO Posttreatment

    Remineralization, UV disinfection, etc.
