Technology
Sea Water Treatment Plant (SWRO)
Capacity
25 m³/hr
We built a SWRO Unit in Sekupang, Batam Island, with a production capacity of 15,000 cubic meters of clean water per month.
Built in mid 2012 and started commercial operation in March 2013.
We developed Reverse Osmosis Technology using a semi-permeable membrane to purify sea water into fresh water.
RO applies high pressure to overcome the osmotic pressure of the purified raw water. As a result, clean water contained in seawater will move to the low-pressure side of the membrane.
