WaterSurplus has launched a new mobile reverse osmosis platform designed for temporary, long-term and semi-permanent water treatment applications across municipal and industrial sectors.
The company’s new ImpactRO mobile reverse osmosis systems are containerised units designed to provide high-efficiency, high-recovery treatment in a deployable format. According to WaterSurplus, each 53-foot container houses two ImpactRO trains and can be configured either as a 600 gallons-per-minute single-pass reverse osmosis system or a 300 gallons-per-minute double-pass system.
The systems are intended for projects where treatment capacity is needed quickly, including municipal, food and beverage, industrial and water reuse applications.
Mobile reverse osmosis designed for flexible deployment
Each unit is fully self-contained and includes five-micron pre-filtration, chemical feed and storage systems for oxidant scavenger and anti-scalant dosing, and a clean-in-place system.
WaterSurplus says the mobile units can achieve recovery rates of up to 96 percent, helping operators reduce wastewater volumes while increasing treated water output.
The company has previously maintained a large rental fleet of mobile water treatment systems for emergency, short-term and long-term use. The new launch extends that offer with a containerised reverse osmosis format designed for higher efficiency and operational flexibility.
Focus on membrane performance and monitoring
WaterSurplus says the new system incorporates its NanoStack membrane technology and NanoScope membrane monitoring platform.
According to the company, the membranes are designed to reduce scale adhesion and membrane fouling, while the monitoring system is intended to provide earlier insight into reverse osmosis performance and fouling risk.
Additional design features include a feed-forward configuration to balance flux across RO stages, intermittent variable recovery controls and a single-point clean-in-place arrangement intended to simplify operation and reduce cleaning downtime.
The company says the mobile platform has also been engineered for durability to withstand the operational and environmental demands associated with containerised treatment equipment.
