In this video, MAK Water engineer Kaspar Varpins takes us on a tour of an advanced Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis (BWRO) desalination plant at the MAK Water factory in Perth, Western Australia. This plant will provide potable drinking water for up to 500 people on the site, as well as water for the site's gardens.

This plant has since been installed at a mine site in the remote Pilbara region in north-west Western Australia, joining the MAK Water Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Sewage Treatment Plant this customer also ordered.

Notable features of this smart water treatment plant include:
💧 Built in a 40' shipping container for easy transport and installation
