Project Summary:

A high-capacity containerized reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant with a production capacity of 946 m³/day was installed in the Bahamas to supply potable water for a land development and an adjacent golf course. The system, fully pre-assembled inside a container, ensures quick deployment and minimal on-site construction. Designed for efficiency and durability in coastal environments, it delivers a constant supply of fresh water from seawater, supporting both residential needs and the high irrigation demands of the golf facilities.

Full Case Study – Containerized RO Plant in the Bahamas

Client & Location

Bahamas – Coastal high-scale community with integrated golf course facilities.

Challenge

The Land development had a pressing need for a reliable, high-quality freshwater source to support both resort consumption and the substantial irrigation demands of its golf course. Importing water or relying on limited groundwater was not sustainable, and the coastal location required a desalination solution capable of withstanding harsh marine conditions.

Solution

Advanced Equipment and Services delivered a 946 m³/day containerized reverse osmosis desalination plant. The system was pre-engineered and pre-assembled in a secure, transportable container to minimize installation time and site preparation.

Key features include:

  • High-efficiency RO membranes for optimal seawater desalination.
  • Multimedia filtration for pre-treatment, ensuring long membrane life.
  • Integrated pumping systems for reliable operation.
  • Compact, modular layout allowing for rapid deployment and easy scalability.
  • Corrosion-resistant materials suited for tropical, marine environments.

Operation

The plant extracts seawater, processes it through multimedia filters and high-pressure RO membranes, and produces 946 m³/day of potable water. This water is distributed for domestic use within the resort and for irrigation of the golf course greens, ensuring year-round availability of fresh water.

Results & Benefits

  • Reliable Freshwater Supply: Continuous, on-demand potable water for residents.
  • Irrigation Efficiency: Adequate, high-quality water for golf course maintenance without relying on rainfall.
  • Quick Installation: Containerized design allowed for minimal civil works and rapid commissioning.
  • Sustainability: Reduces dependency on imported water and preserves local aquifers.
  • Adaptability: Modular system can be expanded as the community grows.

Access to clean water is getting tougher for many coastal communities. Despite having seawater surrounding them, the salinity level is too high for consumption, agricultural use, and use in industries. That’s where desalination systems come in. By converting seawater into freshwater, potable water, these systems become a long-term source for coastal communities’ ever-growing water demand.

The Importance of Desalination for Coastal Communities

Many coastal communities rely almost wholly on conventional freshwater sources including river, lake, and groundwater sources. Nevertheless, such sources at times become restricted, overused, and subjected to climate change. Desalination technology can act as a safe alternative, offering coastal areas a source of freshwater even during drought and when a source dries out.

How Do Desalination Systems Work?

Desalination removes salt, minerals, and impurities from seawater and makes it safe and fit for human consumption and other uses. Today, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most efficient technology in practice, in which seawater under high pressure is pushed through a semi-permeable membrane, removing salt and impurities. The result is purified water, with the remaining concentrated brine discharged.

Benefits of Desalination Systems for Coastal Communities

1. Offers Reliable and Sustainable Freshwater Supplies

Desalination gives a reliable water source, less prone to rain and traditional sources. Coastal communities can have their water needs met without being affected by weather and droughts.

 

2. Supports Economic Growth and Development

Many coastal communities rely on industries like tourism, fisheries and agriculture. Desalination systems supply water to these industries so they can sustain themselves, and create more local jobs.

 

3. Enhances Public Health and Sanitation

Clean water is key to public health. By providing clean water, desalination reduces waterborne disease and improves overall sanitation in coastal communities.

 

4. Reduces Overexploitation of Freshwater and Groundwater

Over-extraction of groundwater can lead to saltwater intrusion and land subsidence. Desalination reduces the stress on natural freshwater resources for long term sustainability.
