Obtain Drinkable Water Virtually Anywhere
with Our Unique Portable Systems

No other water purification system offers all the advantages of the Aqua-Chem ROWPU (Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit). Time proven in harsh environments, it is a fully self-contained, rugged, portable unit that can extract water from virtually any water source: seawater, brackish, even contaminated fresh water.

Reverse osmosis is a simple yet highly versatile water purification process. Typical applications include production of bottled water or potable water for people on the move such as those in temporary mining and construction camps, and military troops in the field.

Due to its transportability by truck, rail or air, and its rugged construction, the ROWPU is also ideal for civil emergencies and industrial applications in harsh environments.

A Simple Process - How Reverse Osmosis Works
In the reverse osmosis process, feedwater is forced through a semi-permeable reverse osmosis (RO) membrane at high pressure. Acting as a molecular filter, the membrane separates dissolved solids from the water.

The resulting fresh water is accumulated in storage tanks while the concentrated (high TDS) brine is discharged. RO membranes provide an effective barrier to microorganisms, reducing the importance of water chlorination.

Our mobile water purification systems provide easy operation with minimal maintenance and only periodic attention required by one operator. Plus it's backed by Aqua-Chem's worldwide support, including training, on-site service, spare parts and trouble-shooting.
