Off-Shore Sea Water Desalination Watermaker SW20K-Class1-Div2

The AMPAC USA Off-Shore Sea Water Desalination Watermaker SW20K-Class1-Div2 provides a critical solution for producing potable water in challenging marine environments. This advanced system converts seawater into pure, fresh drinking water, addressing the essential hydration needs of personnel in remote offshore locations. Designed as a fully automated, explosion-proof turnkey solution, it minimizes the need for manual intervention, ensuring reliable and continuous operation even in hazardous conditions.

• Integrated pre-treatment, reverse osmosis, and post-treatment modules with on-demand delivery pump
• Production capacity of 20,000 GPD (approximately 76 m³/day or 476 BPD)
• Class1-Div2 explosion-proof certification for hazardous offshore locations
• Robust, powder-coated welded aluminum or stainless steel skid with diamond plate base

The system's design integrates pre-treatment modules to prepare the seawater, a high-efficiency reverse osmosis process for desalination, and post-treatment modules to ensure water quality, with an on-demand delivery pump to move purified water to the point of use. It is capable of producing 20,000 gallons per day (GPD), which translates to approximately 76 cubic meters per day (m³/day) or 476 barrels per day (BPD) of fresh drinking water. The Class1-Div2 designation signifies its compliance with stringent safety standards for hazardous locations, built to operate safely in environments where flammable gases or vapors may be present but are not normally in an ignitable concentration.

This specialized watermaker is primarily intended for use on oil platforms, where reliable access to fresh water is crucial for both human consumption and various operational processes. Beyond oil platforms, it can also serve other offshore installations, such as research vessels, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units, or remote island communities requiring a self-sufficient water source.

Each watermaker is constructed on a robust, powder-coated welded aluminum or stainless steel skid featuring a diamond plate base, ensuring the system can withstand the corrosive effects of seawater and the constant vibrations and movements inherent in offshore operations. This durable construction minimizes maintenance requirements and maximizes operational uptime.
