Brackish water has moderate levels of dissolved minerals and salts. The presence of these impurities makes the water less desirable or unusable for many applications.
UltraTec brackish water RO systems are designed with efficiency and ease of operation in mind. Our sysems produce water to meet the most demanding specifications and different capacities are available to suit specific requirements.
Our containerised water treatment systems offer reliability and robustness to meet the operational requirements of cogeneration plants, municipalities, the shipbuilding industry, electronic plants, resorts, and others.

Brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) plants are designed to desalinate water with a lower salinity level than seawater, typically found in brackish water sources such as brackish groundwater or estuarine environments. Here are some benefits of brackish water reverse osmosis plants:
BWRO plants provide a valuable source of freshwater in regions where brackish water resources are available but are not suitable for direct consumption or agricultural use.
Desalinated water from BWRO plants can be used for irrigation in agriculture, enhancing crop yields and supporting farming practices in areas with brackish water.
BWRO can be integrated into municipal water treatment systems to augment the freshwater supply, especially in areas where brackish water is available.
BWRO plants typically have lower energy requirements than seawater desalination plants because the osmotic pressure that needs to be overcome is lower in brackish water.
The methodology of a brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) plant involves a series of steps to desalinate brackish water and produce freshwater. Here's a general overview of the process:
Brackish water is drawn from a source such as brackish groundwater, estuaries, or other brackish water bodies.
Brackish water undergoes pre-treatment to remove suspended solids, sediment, and other impurities that could foul or damage the reverse osmosis membranes.
Chemicals may be added to the water to adjust pH, control scaling, and prevent membrane fouling. Antiscalants and pH-adjusting chemicals are often used in this stage.
The pre-treated brackish water is pressurized using high-pressure pumps. The elevated pressure is necessary to overcome the osmotic pressure and force water through the semi-permeable membranes.
Brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) plants are designed to treat water sources with a lower salinity level than seawater but higher than freshwater. Here are some common applications of brackish water reverse osmosis plants:
