    3. Built to reject 98 percent salinity and to meet World Health Organization guidelines for field water quality.
    4. Product water can be stored on board in 4 tanks holding 15,000 gallons in total.
    5. The plant can deliver water at variable volume and pressure.
    6. The membranes supplied with the unit are still in their plastic and in store.
    7. Around 24 hours are needed to initialize the system once the membranes are installed.
    8. Crew to run it continuously: 1 engineer with electrical knowledge and 1 person to analyze the water quality.
