Seawater RO - TDS 44,000 ppm 15,000
Regarding the SWRO, We are looking for availability of 15000 m3 per day including pretreatment and post-treatment.
Distributed in containers
Let me say each container line 1000 to 1500 m3 per day. Look what is available
We have been involved in South Africa with turnkey installation of 2000-15000m3 per day SWRO plants, all these installations made use of SWRO skids (steelframe mounted units). The pre-treatment tends to take up a lot of space and I would agree that a 15000m3/day plant would be more optimally done as design-build model / custom designed turnkey. Do you have seawater analyses available? We are available to assist. Kindly direct message me.

I agree with Mr. Beyer that if this is for one location a design build plant would be more cost effective. If containerized plants is what you need in the sizes mentioned above, I would say lead times are between 2-6 months. I have recently sourced a couple of smaller units and very few manufacturers have units of these size sitting on the shelf. We are happy to help.

For that size in one location I believe it would be far more cost effective and maybe even faster to go for a custom designed plant.
If not already being done, I also recommend you immediately sample and analyse sea water quality, at least weekly, ideally for 12 months, and commence pre-treatment jar testing trials. You could also consider commencing intake construction - preferably using beach infiltration gallery or Neodren system http://www.catalanadeperforacions.com/en/neodren capable of ~500L/s and perhaps consider construction of the brine discharge capable of ~300 L/s with the same contractor/equipment.
Feel free to contact me directly if any more support required.
