Turning sea water into safe drinking water The reverse osmosis (RO) units desalinate seawater for different applications on board. Two of the generators are installed topside and produce 480 m³ dilution water for the oil separation and stabilisation process. The third water maker is installed in the hull of the FPSO. This particular two-stage RO-unit supplies potable water with a salinity suitable for domestic use. A neutralising filter downstream the RO-unit prevents corrosive side effects and improves water taste.
