Access to potable clean water remains a crucial challenge for many archipelago regions, particularly areas surrounded by high-salinity seawater. To address this issue, PT Mizui Osmosa Teknovasi proudly announces the successful commissioning of the Tayando Island SWRO System project in Tual City, Maluku.
This project serves as a key initiative of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) – Regional Settlement Infrastructure Center of Maluku to build a reliable Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) for the country’s outermost islands.
Challenges of Water Scarcity on Remote Islands
Located in the Tayando Tam Archipelago, this region faces significant limitations regarding natural freshwater sources. The local community has historically relied on rainwater harvesting or brackish groundwater, which is often unsuitable for direct consumption.
The difficult-to-reach geographical condition demands engineering solutions that are not only advanced but also durable. Therefore, the presence of this water treatment installation is a vital answer to ensuring a sustainable supply of clean water resources for local residents.
Technology and Advantages of the Tayando Island SWRO System
As a trusted EPC contractor (Engineering, Procurement, Construction), PT Mizui Osmosa Teknovasi designed a reliable, integrated facility. The Tayando Island SWRO System is capable of processing seawater into potable freshwater with a production capacity of 11 m³/hour (11,000 liters per hour).
Our technical scope of work in this project included:
Intake Facility: Construction of an Infiltration Gallery to draw raw seawater with minimal sediment load.
Pre-treatment System: Advanced filtration units to remove solid particles before the water reaches the main unit, ensuring membrane longevity.
SWRO Unit: The core of the system utilizing high-pressure Reverse Osmosis technology to effectively separate salt content.
Reservoir & Distribution: Storage facilities to ensure a stable supply for distribution to the community.
Quality Standards and Commissioning Process
The installation was completed and handed over in December 2024. During the commissioning phase, our engineering team ensured that all water quality parameters (TDS, pH, Turbidity) in this desalination unit met strict regulatory requirements in accordance with national health standards.
Beyond construction, we also focused on knowledge transfer to local operators to guarantee the sustainable operation of the system in the coming years.
Why Choose a Desalination Solution?
For the Indonesian archipelago, the technology we implemented represents the most effective solution because:
Unlimited Source: Utilizes the abundance of seawater surrounding the islands.
Space Efficiency: A compact installation compared to conventional freshwater reservoirs.
Purity Guarantee: The technology filters out up to 99% of salt, bacteria, and impurities.
