Siemens introduces new second pass reverse osmosis water treatment system for high
quality water in offshore applications
Houston, Texas, USA, 2009-05-04
Siemens Water Technologies announces a new second pass reverse osmosis (RO) water
treatment system to the offshore oil and gas industry. The new system can be used on
offshore platforms and drilling rigs to generate high quality water on-board – water
normally transported to the platform. By generating water on the platform, costly
transportation charges are eliminated and water volume can be adjusted according to need.
The Siemens reverse osmosis system is a rugged, pre-engineered,
pre-assembled, standardized
system that minimizes expensive installation and start-up costs. The new
second pass RO system is ideal for offshore applications because it is a
compact, single-skid unit for easy installation.
Reverse osmosis is a process in which pure water is produced by forcing
waste or saline water
through a semi-permeable membrane. On-site generation of water helps
reduce costs and
provides an additional source of water supply for various applications
on the platform or rig.
