why choose SUEZ water technologies & solutions?
With over 50 years of experience in the design, instal-
lation, operation and maintenance of membrane wa-
ter treatment systems, SUEZ is tapping the world's
largest reservoir – the ocean. SUEZ designed, fi-
nanced, and constructed the first large-scale island
seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) facility in the Unit-
ed States for the City of Santa Barbara, California.
SUEZ continues to operate the 1985 SWRO plant at
Gran Canary Island, Spain.
Our worldwide customers benefit from our wide range
of service options (Table 1):

RO systems from SUEZ are highly reliable and pro-
duce water at an extremely affordable cost. They are
also versatile, fulfilling demand of virtually unlimited
size, on any continent, from almost any salt or brack-
ish water source with total dissolved solids (TDS) sa-
linity greater than 5,000 parts per million. Our RO
systems are proven environmentally benign, requiring
only the responsible management of brine concen-
trate discharge. SUEZ desalination systems provide
fresh water for a wide range of applications:
• Municipal drinking water
• Power generation
• Industrial processes
• Commercial and institutional uses
• Landscape and agricultural irrigation
SUEZ has a history of on-time delivery of complex
projects, often under tight delivery schedules. We pro-
vide:
• An experienced team to manage the project.
• Staff of 7,500 to support the Project Team.
• Documented project successes with SWRO plants,
with O&M contracts, and with large plants.
SUEZ is justifiably proud of the record of their
achievements during years of seawater treatment.
Successful corporate growth, the list of successful
projects, and the confidence expressed by long-term
relationships with individual clients are all evidence of
our success.
SUEZ maintains ISO 9001 and ISO14001 registrations
at plant and support function locations throughout the
world. Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a systematic
methodology employed in the design of new products
and processes that is driven by customer needs and
expectations.
why choose the SeaSMART SWRO concept?
SeaSMART consists of a set of pre-engineered prod-
uct elements that may be assembled into unique
technical solutions.
Whether by application or by site specificities, pre-
engineering maximizes the commonality among solu-
tions to deliver state-of-the-art technology, un-

benefits that SeaSMART concept brings you
our proven experience
Our design and manufacturing quality is the result of
more than 50 years of experience in Design, Build,
and Operation of municipal potable and wastewater
treatment plants.
With more than 200 SWRO systems installed globally,
SUEZ has carried out projects in all sizes under many
different projects structures. These projects range
from small plants producing 100m /day to the
3 SUEZ’s strong quality control and processes provide
200,000m /day Hamma Desalination Plant in Algeria.
3 maximum reliability and value for you.
From these 200 sites, more than 50 are under long-
term operation contract, executed by SUEZ. ELMASA,
the local utility served by the Maspalomas plant
(Spain), has been a SUEZ Water Technologies & Solu-
tions client since 1985. Their plant was expended by
SUEZ 3 times.
A selection for our seawater RO desalination refer-
ences is as follows:
• Water and Sewage Authority; Trinidad and Toba-
go, operational 2002 – 126MLD (33.3MIGD)
• Algerian Government, Hamma, Algeria, opera-
tional 2008 – 200MLD (52.8MIGD)
• Electricia Maspalomas S.A., Grand Canary Island,
Spain, Operational 1986 – 25MLD (6.6MIGD)
• KAE, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, operational

1992 – 34MLD (9.0MIGD)
• Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Station, California,
USA, operational 1992 – 3.3MLD (0.9MIGD)
reliability over time
The SeaSMART Concept incorporates highly efficient
designs and proven technologies that SUEZ has been
implementing globally with success.
It is also designed with a selection of robust products
with high level of material of construction quality. The
high-pressure pumps and boost pumps for example,
are designed for energy efficiency and long operating
life cycles.
The systems can be optimized to meet future water
demands. This flexibility accommodates any capacity
Page 2
for today and future expansions, as well as water
quantity, water quality, or operating uptime. Also,
newly developed technologies could be incorporated
in order to e.g. increase yield in water or energy con-
sumption.
Operational flexibility adjusts to changing conditions
(salinities, flows and temperature variations moderat-
ed thanks to SCADA controls for optimized electrical
consumption).
Our service, technical and engineering staff is de-
ployed globally and would work with you under specif-
ic contract agreements.
These items position SeaSMART Trains for both sus-
tainability and reliability over time.
built to meet your specific needs
SeaSMART building blocks are modular and can be
adapted to your specific requirements as well as to
site specificities; they indeed may be assembled into
unique technical solutions. Your specific requirements
are addressed quickly.
SeaSMART provides high efficiency footprint and lay-
out, which leads to minimized building size thus con-
struction costs. As an example, the vessel per area
ratio is reduced 16% on a 30MLD SWRO Train and 31%
on a 10MLD SWRO Train (comparison between a typi-
cal SWRO Train and a SeaSMART SWRO Train).
Installation and commissioning risks are mitigated
thanks to minimized field assembly: our design is op-
timized for less welding on site, it is preassembled
and tested in factory prior to shipment. High quality
will minimize field rework and the associated sched-
ule delays and costs.
The SeaSMART building blocks as well as the critical
components are containerized to facilitate rapid and
low cost shipment.
SeaSMART components and peripheral offering
SeaSMART trains key components
RO Trains - High quality, energy efficient standard
seawater reverse osmosis designs for capacities be-
tween 5,000 and 10,000 Cubic Meter per Day Trains (5
and 10MLD Trains). Designed with 7 element 1,000psi
pressure vessels.

Alloy pumps – The high pressure RO and RO boost
pumps materials of construction are designed for en-
ergy efficiency and long operating life cycles and in-
corporate SUEZ’s best practices for pump supply for
high pressure SWRO. Built in ASTM 895 5A Super Du-
plex material, for longevity and durability in seawater
conditions.
Alloy fittings and valves – Selection of a series of ro-
bust models. High pressure valves are 600# ANSI,
Duplex material valves, while low pressure valves are
150# ANSI Class, nylon coated ductile iron valves.
Spool piping – Standard supply for alloy piping is Su-
per Duplex Alloy providing long life and stable opera-
tion. For less stringent application, the alloy can easily
be substituted to meet your specification and optimize
cost. FRP, Polypropylene, and PVC pipe are used on
the low-pressure process streams. With field proven
performance the material has been selected to opti-
mize cost and space requirements.
Energy recovery - State of the art energy recovery
using ERI pressure PX Pressure exchangers (PX 260
were selected).
Instrumentation and control system – Designed for
efficient and safer operation, the instruments and
controls have been designed with the operator in
mind. Using GE Fanuc controllers, the design is
1 rapid and low cost shipment, and designed to mini-
structured to provide easy integration into overall
plant operations and Scada’s. It also features FMEA
(Failure Mode Element Analysis) Reviews, HAZOP Re-
views and ISO Reviews by SUEZ Principal Engineers to
ensure proper operation and alarms to critical events
happen. It was designed for ease of accessibility. In-
struments typically have use Hastalloy, 254SMO, and
Urethane on the wetted surfaces for high salt applica-
tion. For permeate, 316SS is used for proven reliability
and cost effective design.

Trench design vs. floor design – You can choose tra-
ditional trench design that minimizes building space,
or a flat floor design that minimized civil works. Or,
the modularity of the design concept can be easily and
rapidly accommodated a wide variety of configura-
tions, as per your requests.
Cartridge filtration, chemical dosing systems, CIP
systems - can be proposed as ancillary equipment for
the SeaSMART trains offering. Also more balance of
plant offering is possible (see Balance of Plant section
next page).
