Triton desalination plants can save on the cost of infrastructure, which is of particular concern to remote areas, where building pipelines and pumping water over long distances can be prohibitively expensive. They can also make small development projects viable, and be used as short-term supply while other options are put into place.
Containerized desalination can provide secure water supply to offshore industries, where seawater is abundant but freshwater is not. The oil and gas industry is major user of desalination and our plants can be easily shipped to drilling platforms.
Triton desalination plants are ideal for off-grid developments, such as resorts or small communities. Provided there is access to seawater or brackish water, our desalination units are a viable water supply option.
Mining processes can be water intensive. Unfortunately many mines are located in areas of high water scarcity. Chile, Australia and Namibia are a few of the countries that have turned to desalination to enable the production of high value metals and minerals. Having a secure alternative water source is not only necessary to sustain operations but is often a prerequisite for planning approval.
Reverse osmosis desalination is ideal for producing high quality, ultra-pure water where low levels of dissolved solids are required. The semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries are both consumers of ultrapure water. Triton’s portable desalination plants are an ideal option where the quantity of water supplied may be small but the quality must be of the highest standard.
Desalinated water is used in the power generation industry to provide high-purity, boiler makeup water. It removes salts and minerals from the water which would otherwise cause scaling of the boiler.
Reverse osmosis can allow the reuse of process water, which would otherwise be discharged into the environment. This is useful for water intensive or polluting industries, which are restricted by the volume of water they can withdraw and discharge. In areas of high water scarcity, or where there are regulatory constraints limiting usage, our filtration systems can provide an efficient, environmentally sensitive water reuse option.
