Aquahelix

SWRO & BWRO SYSTEM

SWRO & BWRO Reverse Osmosis Desalination Systems

The Aquahelix BWRO System is engineered to desalinate brackish water sources with feed salinity ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 mg/L. Using high-rejection brackish water RO membranes driven by precision-engineered high-pressure pumps, the system produces consistently low-salinity permeate suitable for drinking water, industrial process water, irrigation, and downstream ultrapure water applications.

Each Aquahelix BWRO unit is built around a complete pretreatment-to-product treatment train, ensuring stable membrane performance and extended operational lifetime.

The Aquahelix SWRO System is purpose-built for the desalination of seawater, transforming open-sea, coastal, and offshore feed water into reliable potable water. Using high-rejection seawater RO membrane elements combined with energy recovery technology, the system delivers consistent product water quality even under demanding marine conditions.

The AH-SWRO Series spans a wide capacity range — from compact units suitable for shipboard and small island installations, to large plants serving coastal communities, resorts, and industrial facilities.
