Steel pressure vessel Barrel™

The Barrel is a multi reverse-osmosis (RO) or nanofiltration (NF) pressure vessel that is designed to be a plug-and-play system. It ensures the fresh water produced meets all desalinated water quality standards for both municipal and industrial markets. It is also suitable for wastewater reuse and low pressure RO applications. Its modular design makes it highly scalable, offering varying capacities from 400 to 50,000 cubic meters a day per unit. A safe, compact and digital RO desalination system. Its plug-and-play approach helps to secure a fast-track schedule while its embedded digital sensors provide remote monitoring. The Barrel was introduced to the market by SIDEM — a Veolia Water Technologies subsidiary — in 2019 as a major innovation for seawater desalination; however, it soon became obvious that the technology also perfectly addressed the challenges associated with water reuse. How the Barrel works The Barrel enables the RO process implementation to be strictly identical to that of current RO pressure vessels. This ensures the fresh water produced meets all desalinated water quality standards for both municipal and industrial markets. It is also suitable for wastewater reuse and low pressure RO applications. Its carbon steel pressure vessel is manufactured and tested off-site, and is delivered as a single unit so installation on-site can be fast-tracked and project schedules shortened. In addition, its modular design makes it highly scalable, offering varying capacities from 400 to 50,000 cubic meters a day per unit.
