On-shore Desalination / Land Based Systems

 



 

The BHL Series has been especially designed for small Hotels, Marinas and Waterfront Homes with access to salt or brackish water.

The high power efficiency, ultimate reliability and low maintenance cost of these desalination systems makes high quality fresh water in most cases more economical than municipal water where available.

The newly engineered marine aluminum frame provides a tidy appearance while allowing easy access to the systems components for maintenance. The modular bulkhead mount systems or the self-contained vertical framed systems are space saving and easy to install.

For freshwater capacities of 3600 GPD/13,600 Liters or 10,000 GPD/38,000 Liters/day, the installation of two redundant operative BHL desalination units (dual) is the preferred choice. More economical than a single large system, it provides back up, eases transport, installation and reduces the electrical start up load by 35%. In times of low water demand only one module is operated.

Vertical Mount System
1800BHL4 (2012 model)

If a seawater well/spear/bore or open seawater intake at a lower water level is used the installation of a submersible feed pump is recommended. A sand filter (multi media filter) installed before the cartridge pre-filters can reduce filtration cost.

All control systems are electro-mechanicalNo electronic circuits close to seawater
   
Spring loaded automatic Duplex stainless steel pressure regulator – No leaking needle valves
   
Extremely silent operation – no charge/discharge noise
   
High pressure hoses with O-ring sealed Duplex stainless steel fittings – No corroding or cracking compression fittings
   
RO pressure vessels with O-ring sealed Duplex stainless steelTi high pressure fittings  -  No cracking NPT end plugs

Scope of Components

Aluminum wall mount frame with shock mounted Duplex stainless steel high pressure pump and electrical and flow control panels.

1 Pressure vessel rack with 1-4 thin film composite RO membranes

1 Pre-filtration rack with standard size BB cartridges, 4 1/2” x 10”, 5 and 20 microns

Fresh water flush system (Exchanges the sea water in the RO membrane elements with freshwater and therefore avoids biological growth that may clog the elements, leading to reduced output and premature failure)

Product water in-line buffer element (Contains a mixture of minerals that correct product pH only enough to reach a neutral equilibrium in order to protect metal fresh water tanks and fittings. As the water is slightly re-mineralized, this will also improve the taste and makes soap rinse off easily)

"I have used the system for more than four years for between 10 and 24 hrs per day to supply water for normal household and building needs and finally a 15000sq. ft. garden maintenance with lawns, fruit trees and vegetable garden. My average fresh water production is 700 gallons per day, for a total of over 1 million gallons to date. The system has been very reliable. Careful attention to the regular oil change for the high pressure pump and normal consumable replacement at intervals is all that is required to maintain a high quality of product water."
