OSMO SISTEMI was established in 1985. It is a member of Caramondani Group, Cyprus. OSMO SISTEMI S.r.l. is leader in the water treatment technologies and provides technical solutions for treating primary sea water, brackish water, well water, surface water and grey waste water utilizing membrane separation technologies – microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nano filtration, reverse osmosis – together with chemical conditioning and mechanical filtration producing high quality drinking water and desalinated pure water for industrial, civil and agricultural purposes. OSMO SISTEMI S.r.l. delivers cost effective, reliable water treatment plants and services to municipal, industrial, commercial, agricultural and institutional customers worldwide, it is active in Italy, in European Countries, Africa, Asia, Middle East and Gulf region. OSMO SISTEMI S.r.l. is engaged in the desalination field and offers its services and technical knowledge to optimize the process engineering in water treatment and process management and to reduce the effects of water pollution.
Our company is based in Fano city in the region of Marche, in the middle of Italy east coast and we supply water treatment plants to our partners, distributors, agents, integrators, specialist water treatment system designers, installers, public sector institutions, industrial and agricultural end users, in Italy and abroad.
Over the last years the company’s expansion program has also regarded the Mediterranean area, currently including hundreds of plants with different capacities. OSMO SISTEMI water treatment plants are now operating in more than ten Mediterranean sea flooded countries – Spain, Italy, Albania, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Malta, Algeria, Morocco.
Wth a solid background in water treatment technology and plant design, construction, operation and maintenance, OSMO SISTEMI is truly a total water solutions company. From consumable products, such as membranes and chemicals, to process-specific and one-of-a-kind engineered water treatment systems, system tools, instruments, pilot plants, specialized mechanical tools, fittings and spare parts we offer everything necessary to treat water to desired standards as a single-source supplier.
Based on our work mission to best serve our customers we aim to understand their entire water requirements and situation and evaluate the best way to provide a total solution and not just sell them a standard piece of equipment. It is the philosophy that has helped us become the region’s leading water treatment company. Our years of experience in a wide range of industrial processes and markets enable us to understand a company’s applications and requirements, helping us to address new customer’s challenges targeting his full satisfaction.
The proposed technical solutions, depending on the raw water source – sea water open intake, beach wells, underground wells, lakes, rivers, municipal water - are tailored to clients' requirements and include the design of the plant important phases like: raw water pretreatment including disinfection, softening, filtration, chemical adjustment, etc., the reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration plant and permeate water post treatment. The assessment of the raw water quality usually forms the origin of the design of the pre-treatment system of a sea water reverse osmosis SWRO or brackish water reverse osmosis BWRO plant and an efficient and well-designed pretreatment system is necessary in order to assure a high performance, long term, reliable and low cost operation of the reverse osmosis R.O., ultrafiltration UF or resin units. Other technologies utilized for the raw water treatment are ion exchange, aeration and special filtration technologies for iron, manganese, arsenic, boron, hydrogen sulfite, organic matter, heavy metals, odour and bad taste removal.
In order to minimize fouling, scaling and membrane degradation the raw water pre-treatment systems are facing the removal of particulate matter such as silt, clay, suspended solids, biological slime, algae, silica, organic compounds, bacterial load, iron, manganese and oxidizing compounds such as chlorine employing filter media such as sand, anthracite, activated carbon, greensand, pirolusite and birm. For the removal of raw water total hardness ion exchange resins are utilized and for the raw/produced water disinfection sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, chlorine gas, UV radiation or ozonation are employed.
Our R.O. and UF systems are integrated with membrane chemical cleaning system CIP, cartridge safety filtration and chemical dosing sets for membranes' scaling control or raw water chemical adjustment. All our water treatment units are equipped with advanced control systems including programmable-logic controllers with RS 232/485, Ethernet and USB ports handling standard as well as specific protocols like Modbus, PROFIBUS, IEC 60870 and SNMP, color touch panels and monitors for human interface, mimic diagrams and SCADA systems. All RO or UF membranes, resins, or filtration media employed are innovative in order to ensure high performance, low pressure loss and high fouling resistance together with the high system's recovery. Additionally all pumping systems and plants' components selected are first class ensuring long performance, low maintenance need and high efficiency.
In order to optimize the plant power consumption special attention is paid in the selection of the plant’s pumping system. The seawater desalination plants are equipped with the latest generation high pressure pumps HPPs and energy recovery devices ERD (Turbocharger, Pelton wheel, Isobaric Pressure or Work Exchangers), using first quality and highly corrosion-resistant materials such as Duplex or Super Duplex stainless steels for piping and valving.
The permeate water post–treatment for drinking water applications includes as minimum the pH correction, its rehardening, Boron removal facilities if required and the treated water disinfection in order to comply with drinking water standards of World Health Organization WHO or local country drinking water standards.
OSMO SISTEMI S.r.l. delivers cost effective, reliable water treatment plants and services to municipal, industrial, commercial, agricultural and institutional customers worldwide. It is also involved or undertakes the full operation and maintenance of the sold plants through Build-Own and Operate (BOO), Build-Own-Operate-and Transfer (BOOT) and Operating and Maintenance (O & M) contracts. OSMO SITEMI offers targeted services and products with the flexibility to deliver a wider nonstandard range of products and services including technology-focused engineering services and full outsourced OPEX solutions. Almost all the offered plants are custom built to meet the clients' requirements. The plants may be packaged skid mounted, containerized or erected on site according to the client’s needs.
We provide more than just water treatment equipment and systems for industry. We offer additional services like systems’ rental and pilot plants, repair and maintenance of equipment, consumables and spare parts supply, personnel training to keep our operations up and running, not just for today, but for years into the future. In fact our services have helped many companies realize improved productivity and long term cost reductions because of our monitoring and maintenance programs.
Whether for medium large to medium small scale requirements, OSMO SISTEMI offers water treatment options that facilitate greater population health, quality of life, improvement of industrial and agricultural product quality and water sustainability. With multiple water treatment plants currently operational throughout Mediterranean sea area and more in the pipeline we help local authorities and private sector to better manage and obtain required water quality.
OSMO SISTEMI’s main characteristic as a company, are the strategic partnerships and formed alliances with leading water technology suppliers, general service providers, fabrication contractors and chemical manufacturers to offer clients best-in-class products and services at top market levels, always on requested delivery time including the necessary flexibility from design, manufacturing to delivery requirements. While highly experienced in all major water treatment markets in Mediterranean region - North Africa, Middle East and South Europe in combination with intellectual property in specific market water application know-how, ensure that our water treatment solutions are in compliance with discharge standards, water savings , reclaim water for water re-use, drinking and industrial process water quality desired standards.
