SWRO Nedir? | What is Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO)?
Kısa cevap / Short answer: SWRO (Seawater Reverse Osmosis) is desalination technology that forces seawater (~35,000 mg/L TDS) through semi-permeable membranes at 55–70 bar to produce fresh water with typically <500 mg/L TDS.
What is SWRO (Seawater Reverse Osmosis)?
SWRO is the dominant method for producing drinking and process water from the ocean. A complete seawater desalination plant includes intake screening, pre-filtration, high-pressure RO racks, energy recovery, post-treatment (remineralization) and brine disposal.
Eurotech Water manufactures modular SWRO units from compact yacht systems to multi-MIG industrial plants.
How Does SWRO Work?
- Seawater intake and coarse filtration
- Cartridge or UF pre-filtration (SDI <3)
- High-pressure pump and SWRO membranes (8" elements)
- Energy recovery device (ERD) — Pelton or isobaric
- Permeate stabilization (calcite filter, pH adjustment)
- Concentrate (brine) discharge with environmental compliance
SWRO vs Brackish Water RO (BWRO)
| Parameter | SWRO | BWRO |
|---|---|---|
| Feed TDS | 30,000–45,000 mg/L | 1,000–10,000 mg/L |
| Operating pressure | 55–70 bar | 10–25 bar |
| Typical recovery | 40–50% | 65–85% |
| Energy use | 3.5–5 kWh/m³ | 1.5–3 kWh/m³ |
SWRO Applications
- Coastal hotels and resorts — resort desalination
- Islands and remote communities
- Marine: yachts, ships, offshore platforms
- Industrial sites without freshwater access
- Containerized emergency water supply

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular (FAQ)
What is SWRO?
SWRO (Seawater Reverse Osmosis) is a desalination technology that removes dissolved salts from seawater using high-pressure reverse osmosis membranes, typically producing potable or process water with TDS below 500 mg/L.
SWRO ile BWRO farkı nedir?
BWRO brakish (yarı tuzlu) su için 15–25 bar basınçla çalışır; SWRO deniz suyu için 55–70 bar basınç ve özel SWRO membranları gerektirir.
SWRO enerji tüketimi ne kadardır?
Modern SWRO tesisleri yaklaşık 3,5–5 kWh/m³ permeat tüketir. Enerji geri kazanım cihazları (ERD) tüketimi %30–40 azaltabilir.
SWRO recovery oranı nedir?
Deniz suyu SWRO sistemlerinde recovery genelde %40–50 aralığındadır; geri kalan konsantre denize kontrollü deşarj edilir.
SWRO hangi projelerde kullanılır?
Sahil otelleri, adalar, gemi/yat, maden sahaları, endüstriyel tesisler ve acil durum içme suyu projelerinde yaygındır.
