Description

Ex US Navy Floating Freshwater Maker
The barge was built for the US army and was kept as a standby RO system in case US Army requested her operation. The barge was never used and all equipment was preserved and labelled with date. The Membranes that came with the unit are all still in plastic and stored.
This barge has the capability of producing 300,000 gallons of drinking water at 24hr. period and due to its 4 point mooring system sea conditions does not exceed Sea state 3. Barge cannot operate where water depth is less than 15 feet at low tide. This level of water production is based on optimum environmental and optional conditions. The ROWPU system has two identical units, ROWPU 1 and ROWPU 2, that can be run independently and can produce 150,000 gallons per 24 Hr.
These Units were designed to run process feed water (sea salt water or brackish water from river or lake) into two products; brine water or dirty water that is dumped overboard and highly filtered non-salt water which can also be stored on board barge in 4 tanks that hand hold a total capacity 15,000 gals. The Barge complies with WHO guidelines according to field quality of water and salinity and was built to reject 98% salinity.
