For 35 years, SLCE watermakers has been designing, manufacturing and selling reverse-osmosis water treatment yacht equipment. The company relies on the use of high quality components, strict manufacturing procedures and a dense and efficient global network of agencies around the world. This allows us to offer a very high level of quality and very reactive services.

SLCE watermakers exports 80% of its production all around the world and offers a complete range of units producing from 1 to over 1500 m3/day of fresh, industrial or ultra pure water. SLCE watermakers equipment are offered in standard or tailor-made according to your constraints and technical requirements.

A team at your service

With a team of 50 people, SLCE watermakers is a structured human-sized company able to assist you in any of your projects. This team, half of it being engineers and technicians will follow your project from design to delivery.

SLCE watermakers puts modern and powerful computing resources at your service:

  • Simulation and performance calculation softwares.
  • CAD 3D stations.
  • ERP ensuring project follow-up and product traceability.

Focusing on the customer’s needs, SLCE watermakers implements a policy of continuous improvement which results in the satisfaction of the most demanding users, whatever their specific needs and constraints are.

Manufacturing

SLCE watermakers has a high-performance manufacturing team working in a spacious and comfortable environment. We have tools and handling equipment adapted to the manufacture and assembly of the most specific desalination units.

The “Lean Manufacturing” implemented by SLCE watermakers on production islands for equipment up to 40 m3/day, makes it possible to provide them, from D + 2 to D + 7 depending on the models. Each unit is then tested on a test bench in real conditions before shipping.

SLCE watermakers also has a welding workshop for Duplex stainless steel in accordance with EN-ISO 15614-1 and qualified operators.

Logistic

Every day, equipment and spare parts are shipped worldwide. Each equipment is packed in a shipping container conforming to the standard “NIMP15” or ISO container, then shipped by road, sea or air. SLCE watermakers has been an approved exporter since 2016, thus facilitating the customs procedures of all parties involved in the logistics supply chain.

Quality

From the entry of the components into the warehouse, SLCE watermakers carries out strict control at all stages of production. All parts delivered by our suppliers are controlled as soon as they are received to certify their conformity; materials are analysed using a mass spectrometer. A barcode system then ensures the traceability of the stored products.

From the simplest to the most complex, all equipment are tested on a test bench before packaging:

  • Test with raw water similar to that specified at the order.
  • Control of operating parameters: power consumption, conversion rate, pressures, flow rates, conductivity of the water produced…
  • Customers are invited to participate in factory acceptance tests where a training session may be associated.
