Reverse Osmosis Watermaker Service

The maintenance schedule of components depends on the regularity of usage, intake water quality, length of time the water makers system is exposed to water, the total operational time, and the manner of installation. Therefore, it is impossible to establish an exact timetable for maintenance. The table below provides a guideline for scheduling component maintenance for Blue Water Desalination Watermakers.

Reverse Osmosis Watermaker Service guidelines for Blue Water Desalination Watermaker

Regular maintenance should be performed on a weekly basis (approximately every 50 hours) to prevent and resolve potential problems and major repairs.

We are committed to providing the best-in-class reverse osmosis watermaker service for marine and offshore applications. This includes servicing, consumables, planned preventative maintenance, operator training, equipment, and spare parts.

Natural Occurring Osmosis

Osmosis is the natural diffusion of two mixable solutions through a semipermeable membrane resulting in the equalization of concentration between the two solutions. The solution with a lower concentration diffuses through the semipermeable membrane and into the solution with a higher concentration.

For the purposes of desalinating water, the seawater is a high concentration solution, and the potable water is low concentration. Therefore, seawater cannot naturally diffuse through a semipermeable membrane to create potable water. The marine reverse osmosis systems utilize high-pressure pump to cause reverse osmosis.

Reverse Osmosis Process

High pressure is applied to reverse natural osmotic flow.

High pressure forces the high concentration solution (seawater) through the semipermeable membrane (RO Membrane), resulting in increased low concentration solution (potable water).

Reverse osmosis membranes typically have a three to five-year lifespan, dependent on care and operating conditions. The membranes should be replaced when a normal cleaning no longer results in a desired product water quality or production rate.
