BIC delivers project-based seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) solutions for coastal, island, municipal and industrial water supply. Explore BIC desalination project references in China, Indonesia and Mauritania, including systems for power projects, public water facilities and coastal developments.


SWRO Project References Across Different Sites and Applications

BIC’s seawater desalination project references cover China, Indonesia and Mauritania. The projects include public-sector water facilities, thermal power development, coastal real estate and reverse osmosis desalination installations designed for different daily water demands.

Each project is configured according to its raw seawater conditions, required freshwater output, final water use, available power supply, installation environment and operation requirements. This project-based approach allows the treatment process, equipment layout and control strategy to be matched to the actual site instead of applying one standard configuration to every location.


Seawater Desalination Projects for Different Water-Supply Needs

BIC develops SWRO project solutions for locations where conventional freshwater sources are limited, unreliable or unsuitable for the intended use.

Typical project applications include:

  • ◆  Freshwater supply for islands and remote coastal areas

  • ◆  Public and municipal water-supply facilities

  • ◆  Process and utility water for thermal power plants

  • ◆  Industrial facilities requiring a stable source of treated water

  • ◆  Coastal residential and real estate developments

  • ◆  Potable, process or irrigation water projects with defined output-water requirements


What Determines the Design of an SWRO Project?

Project InputDesign Consideration
Raw seawater analysisTDS, salinity, temperature, turbidity, SDI, suspended solids, organics, biological activity and other site-specific contaminants
Required production capacityAverage demand, peak demand, daily operating hours, storage volume and future expansion requirements
Product-water usePotable water, industrial process water, utility water or irrigation water
Required water qualityTarget TDS and applicable customer, industrial or local water-quality standard
Intake conditionsOpen intake, beach well, existing pipeline, pumping distance and seasonal water-quality changes
Site conditionsAvailable footprint, ambient temperature, marine corrosion exposure and access for installation and maintenance
Power supplyVoltage, frequency, available capacity, backup power and energy-recovery requirements
Automation requirementsLocal control, PLC operation, alarms, instrumentation and remote supervision requirements
Brine managementDischarge point, outfall arrangement and applicable local environmental requirements
Delivery formatPlant-room installation, skid-mounted system or containerized configuration
