Sea Recovery Provides Custom- Or Pre-Designed Reverse Osmosis Units Reliability has always been of the utmost importance in all commer- cial applications of reverse osmosis desalination, whether on a commer- cial fishing vessel, offshore drilling platform or cruise ship. And there are times when the special require- ments of a customer do not fit the specifications of a pre-designed commercial unit. Recently, the U.S. military ap- proached Sea Recovery Corp., Gar- dena, Calif., with a request for a watermaker of their own specifica- tions, capable of producing 9,000 U.S. gallons per day. In addition to all normally included features, the unit needed to function automati- cally by utilizing a microprocessor to monitor and adjust all feedback and pressure valves. Within three days after speaking with a Sea Recovery engineer, plans had been completed for the manu- facturing of the order. Specifications for a reverse osmo- sis desalinator may include special requirements of size, capacity, auto- mation, and feed water sources. Sea Recovery engineers can dis- cuss in depth the feasibility of any project a customer may have in mind.
