Raw water first enters the pretreatment unit, which typically consists of a multimedia filter or self-cleaning filter, retaining suspended particles larger than 50 micrometers and reducing the fouling load on downstream membrane units. The pretreatment effluent then enters the Ultrafiltration (UF) unit. The UF membrane has a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 Daltons, with a pore size of approximately 0.01–0.02 micrometers. It separates colloids, bacteria, and macromolecular organic matter from the water.
The UF permeate is pressurized by a booster pump and enters the Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit. The RO membrane is a polyamide composite membrane with a salt rejection rate of not less than 97%. Driven by pressure, water molecules pass through the RO membrane, while the majority of dissolved salts, organic matter, and microorganisms are retained and concentrated. The conductivity of the RO permeate can be reduced to below 50 μS/cm.
The system includes pressure vessels made of FRP or stainless steel, arranged in single-stage two-pass or three-pass configurations. The control unit ensures seamless operation with automatic backwash sequences.
✅ The determination of product water quality targets is based on water quality requirements for reclaimed water reuse specified in national and industry standards and customer proposed end-use.
✅ Based on the customer's water quality report, the company provides a process scheme and guaranteed performance values covering key indicators during the design phase.
This equipment is widely used for wastewater reuse in electronics, chemicals, textiles, and food industries. It is also ideal for upgrading municipal wastewater treatment plants. The produced water is suitable for:
