Containerized Reverse Osmosis System | Portable Water Treatment Solution
What Is a Containerized Reverse Osmosis System?
A containerized reverse osmosis system is a complete water purification unit that comes pre-installed inside a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container. Instead of requiring on-site assembly, it arrives ready to operate and includes all essential components.
For example, the system combines:
-
Raw water pump – transfers source water into the unit.
-
Pre-treatment filters – remove suspended solids, sediment, and chlorine.
-
High-pressure pump – delivers the required pressure for RO membranes.
-
RO membranes – desalinate seawater or purify brackish water.
-
Control panel and monitoring system – maintain stable operation and water quality.
-
Product water tank – stores purified water for immediate use.
Because everything fits neatly inside the container, the unit works as a true plug-and-play solution. Simply connect the raw water source and power supply, and the system immediately begins producing fresh water.
What else can be configured in the container?
– New or second-hand (repaired, painted) container
– Control panel
– Lighting
– Interconnecting piping between components and systems
– Instrument wiring and wiring inside the container to the main control cabinet accordingly
– Non-slip floor covering
– Air conditioning (optional)
– Insulating whiteboard (optional)
– Ventilation fans
Why Choose a Containerized Reverse Osmosis System?
A containerized reverse osmosis system offers unmatched portability, protection, and ease of operation compared with standard RO systems. Moreover, it performs exceptionally well in areas with limited water infrastructure. Therefore, it has become the preferred solution for projects requiring rapid deployment and reliable freshwater production.
Haiyuan’s containerized system is designed to help customers solve water challenges efficiently. In addition, it simplifies installation, streamlines operation, and provides flexible mobility. Most importantly, the container creates a stable, protected environment that ensures long-lasting, trouble-free performance.
1. Portability and Flexibility
The containerized format allows easy transport by truck, ship, or rail. This makes it ideal for temporary projects, disaster response, offshore platforms, and remote communities.
2. Compact and Space-Saving
All equipment fits neatly inside a single container, which reduces the need for additional infrastructure and protects sensitive components from environmental hazards.
3. Quick Deployment
Pre-installed and tested units minimize installation time and labor costs, enabling faster operation compared with conventional RO plants.
4. Reliable Water Quality
These systems consistently produce high-quality freshwater that meets WHO and local drinking water standards, whether treating seawater, brackish water, or well water.
5. Customizable Capacity
Haiyuan’s containerized RO systems can be tailored for specific water sources, capacities (from 1 m³/h to 100 m³/h), and even solar-powered operation.
Basic Process of Containerized Reverse Osmosis System：
| Step | Component | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw Water Tank | Stores feed water and ensures a stable supply for the system. |
| 2 | Raw Water Pump | Transfers water from the raw water tank to the pre-treatment stage, providing necessary pressure. |
| 3 | Multi-Media Filter (Sand Filter) | Removes sand, suspended solids, and large particles to protect downstream equipment. |
| 4 | Activated Carbon Filter | Adsorbs chlorine, organic compounds, and odor, improving water quality and protecting the RO membranes. |
| 5 | Anti-Scaling / Chemical Dosing System | Prevents scaling on high-pressure pumps and RO membranes, extending equipment life. |
| 6 | Precision Filter (5μm Filter) | Removes fine particles to prevent membrane clogging. |
| 7 | High-Pressure Pump | Provides sufficient pressure to force water through the RO membranes for desalination or purification. |
| 8 | RO Membrane Module | Core desalination unit that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, and most contaminants. |
| 9 | Product Water Tank | Collects purified water, ensuring a stable supply. |
| 10 | Control & Monitoring Panel | Monitors water quality, pressure, and flow in real-time to maintain safe and stable operation. |
| 11 | Product Water Outlet | Delivers clean, ready-to-use water. |
