Leveraging industry-leading technology, ship operators can now produce clean water from virtually any source, including challenging environments like littoral waters, estuaries, rivers, and harbors, despite high levels of suspended solids and contaminants. These advancements empower ship operators to generate fresh water confidently in areas previously deemed unsuitable.
Operate Freshwater Generators Anywhere
Pall's MFRO freshwater generators offer ship operators system versatility that combines hollow fiber membrane filtration (MF) with reverse osmosis (RO) desalination membranes. These fully automatic systems are suitable for cruise ships, commercial vessels, and military vessels and are adaptable to various challenging marine environments.
PALL MEMBRANE FILTRATION MODULES PALL DISC TUBE™ REVERSE OSMOSIS MODULES
Utilizing a hollow fiber membrane filtration system, Pall membrane filtration modules remove suspended solids, bacteria, protozoan cysts and viruses in the feedwater. The membrane's pore size controls the fraction of the removed particulate matter. These exceptionally robust hollow fiber-based membrane filtration retain particulate matter, while the water and its soluble components pass through the membrane as filtrate or filtered water. In concentrated form, the retained solids are discharged from the membrane system as a waste stream periodically during a reverse filtration flush. This technology allows the system to cope with feedwater, which has a high concentration and wide range of suspended solids, without using replaceable cartridge filters.
PALL DISC TUBE™ REVERSE OSMOSIS MODULES
Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes remove the dissolved salts in the sea or brackish feedwater. The membrane technology reduces the dissolved salts down to a maximum of 500mg/l. The Pall Disc Tube (DT) configuration with short open channel feed flow paths imparts turbulent flow to minimize concentration polarization and reduce membrane scaling and fouling. The compact and flexible construction gives long membrane life, easy access and lower replacement costs.
Pall Spiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Modules
Spiral-wound RO modules perform the same function as DT modules but are typically applied in larger applications where flow rates are in excess of 70 m3/day. These modules feature an extremely high membrane surface area to hold-up volume ratio. Feedwater is for vessels with onboard reverse osmosis systems; Pall offers an MF stand-alone system as an upgrade to achieve full capability.
Pall Membrane Filtration (MF) Stand-Alone Water Treatment Systems
For vessels with reverse osmosis systems fitted onboard, Pall offers an MF stand-alone system as an upgrade to achieve capability. Pall's Freshwater Generators combine MF and RO technologies in a self-contained automated package and provide the following benefits:
For vessels with reverse osmosis systems fitted onboard, Pall offers an MF stand-alone system as an upgrade to achieve capability. Pall's Freshwater Generators combine MF and RO technologies in a self-contained automated package and provide the following benefits:
- Significantly increase the availability of freshwater from virtually any water source.
- Allow ships to remain 'on station' in all environments, increasing vessel availability.
- Fully automated and easy to operate via a touchscreen panel.
- Provide safe and consistent water quality.
- Rely less on port authority bunker water, saving cost and time in port.
- Lower maintenance levels are required, reducing operational costs and a shorter return on investment.
- Can be manufactured to military-grade specification, meeting all relevant naval standards.
- Modular design and supplied in sections to aid transit through vessels in retrofit situations.
- Ideal solution for smaller ships.
- Supplied and supported by Pall, a trusted industry, government and multiple navies supplier for over sixty years.
- Pall membrane filtration technology improves shipboard water capabilities by pre-treating water optimally, allowing spiral-wound modules to provide reliable, high-output potable water with minimal energy and a small footprint.
