Trailer-mounted Mobile Desalination Station for Rapid Disaster Response

Rapid Deployment and Versatile Mobility Design

Metalsin‘s Trailer-mounted Mobile Desalination Station is specifically engineered for rapid disaster response, providing a critical lifeline in regions where infrastructure has been compromised by floods, earthquakes, or hurricanes. Designed for high-speed deployment, these units turn any saline or brackish water source into high-purity drinking water within hours of arrival.

Custom-design trailer mounted SWRO station for emergency relief and remote mobility, with a production capacity of 250 L per hour.

To meet varying logistical requirements, our mobile stations are available in two primary configurations:

• Customized Compact Trailers: 2-wheel or 4-wheel van-style systems designed for easy towing by SUVs or light trucks into narrow urban areas or rugged terrains.
• Towed Containerized Systems: Heavy-duty units housed in standard 20ft or 40ft containers, designed to be towed by semi-trucks for large-scale water requirements.

Each unit is built for total energy independence. They can be connected to an external power grid or driven by a built-in high-performance diesel generator, ensuring 24/7 operation in total blackout conditions.

Core Components and Process Work Flow

The reliability of our mobile station stems from the integration of industrial-grade core components, including high-efficiency Feed and High-Pressure Pumps, advanced RO Membranes (DOW or TORAY), and corrosion-resistant tanks. The entire process is managed via a Siemens/Schneider PLC system and an intuitive HMI touchscreen, allowing operators to monitor water quality and system pressure in real-time with minimal training.

The seawater RO desalination process begins with raw seawater being stored in a raw water tank and delivered by a water pump through a series of pre-treatment units. The water first passes through a mechanical filter to remove suspended solids, followed by an activated carbon filter to reduce organic matter and chlorine. A softener is then used to minimize scaling potential before the water enters a precision filter for fine particle removal. After pre-treatment, the conditioned seawater enters the first-stage reverse osmosis (RO) system, where a significant portion of dissolved salts and impurities is removed.

The permeate from the first-stage RO is collected in an intermediate water tank, where pH adjustment may be applied before entering the second-stage RO system for further purification. The final purified water is stored in a purified water tank and undergoes additional post-treatment, including ozone disinfection, ultraviolet sterilization, and microfiltration, to ensure safe and stable water quality. A loop circulation pipeline helps maintain water freshness and hygiene, while concentrated brine generated during the process is discharged through the concentrate backflow system.
