Treating brackish water
Nomado supplies brackish water treatment systems. Nanofiltration (NF) and low pressure reverse osmosis (RO) are similar technologies suited for the production of drinking water from brackish water.
Our plug & play offer
Commissioning made easy and maintenance taken into account from the design phase.
Containerized solutions
Suitable for the most extreme conditions, this is a first-class solution for a robust, lasting and economical unit.
SKID solutions
Compact, easily transportable and self-sufficient unit, the Skid is compatible with all drinking water production technologies.

The solutions that we offer adjust extremely well to variations in the quality of the water to be treated and the quantity of the load that it contains. Our treatment units are integrated into sea containers or mounted on SKIDs thereby reducing production times, installation times on site and civil engineering costs.
Sheet metal work and welding of the hydraulic structures are performed directly inside the container. Waterproofing is ensured by a seal made of special coatings that constitutes a perfectly monolithic block. It prevents water from coming into contact with the structures. The Coatings’ properties are always chosen in accordance with the project’s specifics (Health compliance certificate, WRAS, aggressiveness of reagents or water, etc.).

Understanding how brackish water treatment works
Treatment
Surface water and borehole water are defined as brackish (BW) when they contain dissolved salts up to a concentration of 10g/L.
Nanofiltration (NF) and low pressure reverse osmosis (RO) are similar equipments that are suitable for producing drinking water from brackish water.
Process
Brackish water is put under pressure (between 5 and 15 bars) to force it through a semi-permeable membrane that captures the dissolved pollutants (salts, minerals, heavy metals, etc.). The only difference between NF and RO is the cut-off value of their membrane 10 to 0.1 nm for NF and 1 to 0.01nm for RO.
Membrane filtration is a complex cutting-edge technology which Nomado supplies when the project requires and the customer requests it because it necessitates significant monitoring once in operation that must be taken into account from the beginning of the project.
