Coastal industry
Desalinated water for industrial utilities, process make-up water, cooling-water make-up and plant service water.
Core product · seawater desalination
SWRO systems for seawater desalination.
MIT Water supplies seawater reverse osmosis systems for coastal, marine, remote-site and industrial desalination projects. SWRO is one of the core WTP businesses of MIT Water.

SWRO configuration
Built around seawater analysis and site conditions.
SWRO design starts from seawater TDS, intake method, turbidity, SDI, fouling risk, temperature, recovery target, permeate quality, energy consumption and material selection.
- Intake screening, multimedia filtration, UF or cartridge filtration
- High-pressure pumps and SWRO membrane pressure vessels
- Chemical dosing, flushing, CIP and online instruments
- PLC control, factory inspection and commissioning support
Applications
Where SWRO systems are used.
SWRO is selected when the feed water is seawater or high-salinity brine and the project needs stable desalinated water for utility, process, potable or polishing use.
Marine and remote sites
Compact SWRO equipment for sites where municipal water is unavailable or unstable and seawater is the practical source.
Desalination before polishing
SWRO permeate can be followed by BWRO, EDI, UV, remineralization or other polishing based on final water quality.
Technical review
Information required for an SWRO proposal.
For a meaningful SWRO proposal, MIT Water usually reviews the seawater analysis, required permeate quality, daily capacity, operating hours, intake condition, available power supply and project location.
Feed-water analysis
TDS, chloride, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, silica, boron, turbidity, SDI and temperature affect process selection.
Material selection
For seawater service, material choice for piping, pumps, valves and instruments must consider corrosion and operating pressure.
Operation strategy
Recovery, cleaning frequency, chemical consumption, flushing and standby mode are reviewed before final configuration.
