Design basis
Characterize salinity, temperature, turbidity, SDI, organics, hardness, silica, boron and seasonal variability; define product flow, conductivity and end-use requirements.
Water Treatment Packages · ENGINEERED SCOPE
Industrial Desalination Packages
Industrial desalination packages convert seawater or brackish water into process, utility or potable-quality water through a project-specific pretreatment and membrane train. Product-water quality, recovery, fouling risk and concentrate disposal govern the configuration.
Engineering approach
Industrial Desalination Packages
A technically defined package begins with the operating envelope—not a catalogue model.
Rated capacity, minimum stable load, feed envelope, inlet and outlet conditions, product specification, start-up and shutdown cases, design life and acceptance criteria are agreed before equipment definition is frozen. Package basis also fixes battery limits, skid envelope, lifting and shipping constraints, utility tie-ins, FAT scope, preservation requirements and commissioning deliverables.
Process configuration
Scope may include screening, clarification or dissolved-air flotation, multimedia or ultrafiltration pretreatment, cartridge filtration, chemical dosing, high-pressure pumps, reverse osmosis stages, energy recovery, CIP and remineralization.
Verification focus
The design is checked for membrane flux, scaling and biofouling, chemical compatibility, pressure drop, train availability, clean-in-place strategy, reject handling and product-water stability.
PROJECT DEFINITION · DELIVERY
Clear inputs, auditable outputs
Technical proposal quality depends on verified process data, acceptance criteria and interface definition. The following information is confirmed during clarification.
RFQ information
- “Feed and outlet specification”: Record feed phase/composition, relevant contaminants, water/solids/salts/hydrocarbons, product/effluent targets and pressure-drop limit.
- “Technology and process arrangement”: Select separation/treatment method, stages/internals, chemicals/adsorbent, filtration and standby options from feed analysis.
- Site utilities, ambient data, hazardous-area classification and battery limits
- Required performance guarantee, redundancy and availability philosophy
- Applicable project codes, materials, inspection requirements and document format
Engineering deliverables
- Equipment datasheet and design basis for “Industrial Desalination Packages”, with service-relevant calculations where included in the supply scope.
- Heat and material balance, PFDs, P&IDs and utility summary
- Equipment datasheets, line and instrument lists, control narrative and cause-and-effect inputs
- Layout, nozzle and interface data, foundation loads and maintainability review
- Inspection and test plan, FAT documentation, manuals and final manufacturing record
RFQ
Discuss this duty with engineering
Share the operating cases, feed data and required guarantee so the applicable process route, package boundary and verification plan can be defined.

A sourced market example is shown below, not a code-mandated envelope, Delham rating, or project guarantee. Confirm the applicable model and project conditions before using it.
| Parameter | Published value | Basis / secondary data | Application limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Published BWRO project example | Net capacity per module: 350 m³/h; total for three modules: 1,050 m³/h | Three second-stage brackish-water reverse-osmosis modules for process-water service. | One project example, not a standard range or guaranteed capacity for every desalination unit. |
