Occupancy curve
Separate staff, guests, contractors and peak occupancy by project phase instead of relying on one headline population.
CAMPS · GLAMPING · TEMPORARY FACILITIES
Reliable water.
Ready for changing demand.
Build water production around the real mobilization plan: source quality, occupancy stages, storage, utilities, access and the service that must remain available.

QUICK ANSWER04
Size the service by phase, not by the final headcount alone.
Opening duty, occupancy ramp, peak operation and the later expansion or exit plan can require different operating combinations. The approved daily-demand schedule and available production hours remain the basis.
CAMP DESIGN BASIS
Six realities before selecting equipment.
Resolve the changing site duty first; then compare the verified DESAL routes.
Source quality
Confirm seawater or brackish-water chemistry, source yield, turbidity, temperature and seasonal variation before routing equipment.
Deployment schedule
Align commissioning, occupancy ramp-up, peak operation, expansion and any later relocation with the required water service.
Storage strategy
Use treated-water storage to separate stable RO production from short demand peaks and defined interruption coverage.
Utilities
Verify available voltage, frequency, connected load, backup philosophy, feed-water pumping and communications at every stage.
Access & service
Transport limits, lifting, civil readiness, consumables, chemicals, operator access and demobilization affect the delivery format.
DAILY DEMAND WORKSHEET
Count every water stream once.
Use owner-approved consumption data, equipment duties or measured values. SEAMASTER does not impose a universal litres-per-person allowance.
| Demand stream | Build the quantity from | Project input to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Accommodation & sanitary | Occupied beds, staff shifts and actual operating schedule | Peak occupancy and fixture profile |
| Kitchen & catering | Meals, food preparation, washing and hygiene duty | Kitchen operating periods and final-water requirement |
| Laundry & cleaning | On-site or outsourced laundry plus housekeeping cycle | Equipment data and cleaning schedule |
| Staff & administration | Permanent teams, visitors, offices and shared facilities | Shift pattern and non-resident users |
| Cooling, landscaping or works | Only uses that genuinely require desalinated water | Water quality, seasonal duty and alternative sources |
| Reserve & interruption cover | Owner-defined service requirement, not a universal percentage | Accepted outage and usable storage volume |
Capacity rule: total approved daily demand ÷ realistic production hours, adjusted only by the agreed reserve. Instantaneous taps and showers are normally served through the distribution and storage design, not by an invented RO peak factor.

Choose by source, duty and deployment format.
These published ranges are routing boundaries. Final capacity, recovery, energy use, treatment scope and performance require the current water analysis and approved project duty.

Explore platformPHASED WATER ARCHITECTURE
Make each operating stage explicit.
Phase gates keep demand, shared equipment, storage and site readiness aligned with the actual deployment plan.
Define the first occupied facilities, essential services, commissioning water and the initial source and storage interfaces.
Add accommodation, catering, laundry and staff demand according to the actual mobilization sequence.
Verify the highest simultaneous duty, operating hours, storage turnover and required production availability.
Plan later capacity, permanent conversion, module relocation or demobilization without assuming a fixed project outcome.
Expansion rule: do not assume that nominal capacities can simply be added. Verify shared pretreatment, pumps, post-treatment, controls, storage and the required output with one train unavailable.
SITE-READINESS INTERFACES
The plant is only ready when the site is ready.
Define every connection at the agreed delivery boundary. Temporary infrastructure still needs an approved source, power, drainage, access and operating plan.

Talk to an engineer CAMP & TEMPORARY-SITE FAQ
Answers before concept design.
01Can a camp desalination plant be sized only from the number of people?
No. Occupancy must be combined with the actual accommodation, sanitary, catering, laundry, cleaning, staff and other water uses. Operating hours, storage and the accepted interruption also affect the required production capacity.
02What daily water allowance should be used per person?
There is no universal value on this page. The project owner should provide the design basis or measured consumption for the specific camp standard, climate, fixtures, catering, laundry and operating rules. SEAMASTER then converts the approved daily demand into a production duty.
03Can the plant be expanded as occupancy grows?
A phased architecture can be assessed, but train count, shared pretreatment, pumping, storage, controls and site interfaces must be designed for the approved expansion case. This page does not assume that every catalog unit can be combined without engineering review.
04Is containerized delivery automatically the best option for a temporary site?
No. BOX DESAL can reduce site assembly and define delivery boundaries, but road access, lifting, foundations, intake, discharge, storage, utilities and the future relocation plan still determine the appropriate format.
05Can temporary power be connected directly to the RO equipment?
The electrical design must verify voltage, frequency, power quality, available load, starting behavior, protection, backup philosophy and restart sequence. Final requirements come from the selected system and approved site power study.
