As clients start to explore water reuse or tap lower quality water sources there is a greater need to pilot systems to set full scale designs and most importantly ensure a high quality, consistent feed water is produced. SafBon Water Technology (SWT) has designed and built numerous small scale plants to be used by various entities for piloting and demonstration. We know the importance of having reliable equipment that log data, run continuously and simulate full scale operations. These systems have been designed for ease of operation, flexibility and maximum data collection.

  • bullet droplet blue md Seawater and brackish reverse osmosis and nanofiltration pilot skids
  • bullet droplet blue md Micro and ultrafiltration multiple module, universal pilot skids
  • bullet droplet blue md Flat sheet and ceramic module ultrafiltration test skids
  • bullet droplet blue md Containerized or trailer mounted design options
  • bullet droplet blue md Various physical and chemical treatment systems

All systems are custom engineered and are available for purchase or lease (when available). They are skid mounted for easy shipping and there is the option of having the system completely trailer mounted.
The pilot experts at SWT assist our clients not only with the equipment design but also with the pilot protocol, setting pilot parameters, data collection guidelines and pilot operating conditions. We also provide small scale systems for all pre and post treatment processes as well as chemical feed and cleaning systems. Based on the raw water characteristics and the required product water quality, SWT can design the correct components for the pilot.

Interpreting data collected from the pilot is another key area SWT engineers assist in the pilot and demonstration process. Our experts can help organize, chart the data, and make recommendations for future tests or parameter changes and most importantly transfer the knowledge learned to a full scale system design.
