Standardized modular systems factory-tested in Shanghai and pre-engineered for rapid marine logistics transit directly to the Port-Gentil Deepwater Terminal.
Operating as Gabon’s economic and hydrocarbon capital on Mandji Island, Port-Gentil presents distinct hydrogeological hurdles demanding advanced membrane engineering.
Due to Mandji Island’s coastal geography and intensive industrial extraction, local boreholes suffer from aggressive brackish intrusion, elevated iron-manganese content, and erratic Total Dissolved Solids (TDS exceeding 3,500 ppm), rendering raw subterranean water corrosive to high-pressure boilers and heat exchangers.
Facilities surrounding the Sogara refinery, upstream storage tank farms, and Cape Lopez crude terminals necessitate continuous high-pressure boiler feed water with electrical conductivity below 0.1 µS/cm and silica levels strictly beneath 10 ppb to prevent turbine scale deposition and thermal cracking.
Offshore supply vessels (OSVs) operating in the Anguille, Torpille, and Rabi fields require rapid, dependable bunkering of ultra-pure wash water and drilling fluid mix water, heavily pressuring local industrial supply networks during peak drilling campaigns.
Deploying membrane configurations optimized for warm raw seawater (28°C–32°C), high organic silt indices (SDI15 > 5), and fluctuating power infrastructures common to West Africa.

Multinational engineering firms procuring industrial water plants for Port-Gentil evaluate suppliers strictly on total lifecycle resilience, energy dissipation metrics, and component interchangeability.
Equatorial Atlantic moisture demands Super Duplex Stainless Steel (2507) and SMO 254 for all high-pressure brine manifolds. For structural chassis, marine-grade epoxy coatings with high dry-film thickness (DFT > 320 μm) guarantee decades of resistance to salt fog degradation.
Local industrial electricity costs necessitate maximum energy optimization. Tongjie integrates isobaric ceramic pressure exchangers (PX) that recover up to 96% of reject hydraulic energy, lowering electrical consumption on seawater RO systems to beneath 3.0 kWh/m³.
Systems feature standardized PLC architectures with full SCADA remote-telemetry connectivity. Port-Gentil operating teams can monitor transmembrane pressure (TMP), recovery rates, and membrane flux in real-time, accompanied by 24/7 remote diagnostic access from Tongjie engineering centers.
Navigating local discharge permits and environmental standards set by the Direction Générale de l'Environnement et de la Protection de la Nature (DGEPN).
Industrial brine discharge into maritime waters off Cape Lopez must satisfy rigorous thermal, toxicity, and chemical dispersing thresholds. Tongjie equips every modular system with automated neutralizing loops and diffusers that guarantee compliance with DGEPN requirements.
Logistical movements inside Gabon are constrained by limited road connectivity into Port-Gentil. We assemble full systems within CSC-certified 20ft and 40ft high-cube containers that arrive on standard cargo barges, needing only external tie-ins for instantaneous start-up.
Long lead times for imported spares can stall critical refinery runs. Tongjie establishes tailored 2-year consumable suites—including Dow FilmTec™/DuPont membranes, antiscalants, cartridge filters, and CIP chemical packs—dispatched alongside the initial equipment shipment.
Transitioning Gabon's heavy industry into the next generation of closed-loop water reuse and decarbonized desalination.
As offshore exploration transitions into mature recovery phases, produced water volumes increase. Tongjie's integrated DTRO (Disc Tube Reverse Osmosis) and MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) platforms achieve over 95% water recovery, yielding reusable condensate and crystallized dry mineral cake.
To reduce reliance on diesel generation in remote Gabonese coastal sites, our engineers configure direct solar PV-coupled variable frequency high-pressure pumping systems, mitigating power surges and dropping total operating expenditure by up to 40%.
Real-time machine learning algorithms dynamically analyze raw sea feed temperature and conductivity spikes from the Atlantic currents. The automated PLC adjusts dosing chemistry and backwash cycles adaptively, extending RO membrane longevity beyond 5 operational years.
