The PCS-Preussag Conversion System(R) is a mobile floating seawater de
salination plant supplying potable water to arid coastal regions. In t
he present design example, a standardized Preussag seawater desalinati
on plant using reverse osmosis technology is preferably installed on a
converted single shell oil tanker because this outdated tanker design
concept will eventually be outlawed due to its potential ecological h
azard in case of emergency. The PCS-Preussag Conversion System((R)) ca
n offer a useful and economic alternative to conventional land-based d
esalination plants for a number of applications.
