Packaging and deployment architectures — containerised, skid-mounted, mobile and remote. The treatment process is unchanged; the enclosure and the application are what differ.

Containerized Systems
A complete treatment train integrated inside a shipping container. An application architecture built on a treatment process, not a process of its own.
Overview
A complete treatment train integrated inside a shipping container. An application architecture built on a treatment process, not a process of its own.
This entry describes an application and packaging architecture. The treatment process inside it is documented separately — see the related technologies below. Nothing on this page states a standard capacity, because capacity follows from the design basis rather than from the packaging.
How it works
Separation mechanism and feed window. Bounded by the contained process — typically requiring better feed than a raw-water intake.
What the process produces. Set by the contained process and the design basis.
Energy. Process energy plus container parasitics.
Process sequence
Where this technology normally sits in a treatment train. The steps either side of it are documented in the Library as separate entries.
- Contained RO train
- Container utilities
- Site connection and commissioning
Typical applications
- Emergency and disaster response
- Temporary capacity
- Remote community supply
Main equipment
- ISO container
- Contained treatment train
- External connection and control panel
Key design parameters
The parameters an engineer actually sets, and why each one drives the design. EngiMetric does not assume any of them.
| Parameter | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Contained process and design flow | Sets whether it fits the transport envelope. |
| Weight and transport limits | The hard physical constraint. |
| Site services available | Power, drain and connections determine what the container must contain. |
Advantages
- Rapid deployment.
- Factory acceptance testing before shipment.
Limitations
- Feed quality constraints of the contained process.
- Transport weight and envelope limits.
Engineering considerations
- EngiMetric publishes no standard container capacity. Size the design basis in the Plant Designer.
Status and EngiMetric support
Industry maturity and commercial status describe the technology itself. EngiMetric support and quantitative modeling describe what this platform does with it — and those two are read from the engineering registry at build time, so they cannot drift from the code.
- Engineering maturity
- Established How established the technology is in the industry. Not an EngiMetric claim.
- Commercial status
- Commercial Where the technology sits in the market. Not an EngiMetric claim.
- EngiMetric support
- Information only No execution-registry entry exists, so no support is claimed.
- Design engine
- No Whether the Plant Designer can carry this as a configured process step.
- Quantitative modeling
- Partial No engine exists, so EngiMetric states no figure for this technology.

Design this as a plant
The container is not engineered here. Configure the contained RO train in the Plant Designer exactly as for a central plant, then check that the resulting equipment fits the transport envelope.
EngiMetric does not model the packaging itself — there is no container, skid or transport model in the Plant Designer. What the designer carries is the contained treatment process, configured exactly as it would be for a central plant.
