Skid Mounted Water Treatment Units for Compact and Reliable Water Treatment
At HWT, advanced Skid Mounted Water Treatment Units are designed and supplied for off-grid, industrial, agricultural, mining, commercial, and remote-site applications throughout Southern Africa. These compact modular systems are engineered to simplify installation, improve mobility, and reduce on-site construction requirements.
Consequently, skid mounted treatment systems are increasingly being selected where rapid deployment, compact layouts, and reliable operation are required. Furthermore, treatment equipment can be factory assembled, pre-piped, pre-wired, and tested prior to delivery, thereby reducing installation time and commissioning complexity on site.
Skid Mounted Water Treatment Units for Off-Grid Applications
Skid mounted systems are designed so that major treatment components can be integrated onto a structural steel frame or modular skid assembly. Therefore, pumps, filters, dosing systems, blowers, instrumentation, and control panels can be supplied as a single integrated process unit.
The following treatment processes are commonly incorporated:
- Potable water treatment
- Borehole water treatment
- Rainwater purification
- Reverse osmosis systems
- Sewage treatment modules
- Filtration and clarification systems
- UV disinfection systems
- Chemical dosing systems
- Sludge handling equipment
As a result, reliable treatment performance can be achieved while reducing civil construction and installation requirements.
Compact, Modular, and Rapidly Deployable
Skid mounted water treatment units are widely utilised where space limitations or remote installation conditions exist. Consequently, these systems are frequently supplied for:
- Mines and remote camps
- Agricultural facilities
- Factories and industrial plants
- Residential estates
- Lodges and hospitality developments
- Temporary construction sites
- Emergency water supply systems
- Containerized treatment plants
In addition, modular skid systems can easily be expanded or upgraded as treatment capacity requirements increase. Therefore, long-term flexibility can be achieved without major infrastructure modifications.
Designed for Easy Transport and Installation
One of the major advantages of skid mounted systems is the reduction in site installation complexity. Since equipment is pre-assembled and factory tested, commissioning periods can often be shortened significantly.
Furthermore, transportation and relocation can be simplified because the systems are designed as compact integrated units. Consequently, skid mounted plants are particularly suitable for off-grid and remote applications where construction access may be limited.
Automated controls and remote monitoring systems can also be incorporated to improve operational reliability and reduce maintenance requirements.
Practical Water Treatment Experience Since 1994
Since 1994, HWT Water Treatment has designed and supplied practical water and wastewater treatment systems throughout Southern Africa. More than 200 treatment plants have been engineered and commissioned for off-grid and industrial applications.
Consequently, skid mounted water treatment units can be engineered according to the specific flow requirements, water quality conditions, and operational objectives of each project.
Whether the requirement involves potable water production, industrial process water, sewage treatment, or remote-site water purification, dependable modular treatment systems can be supplied to support efficient and reliable long-term operation.
