According to the source water characteristics and water production requirements, the following process is adopted:

System description
This system is divided into four parts: pretreatment, reverse osmosis, and sterilization system.
A. Pretreatment system
Pretreatment devices include raw water pumps, dosing systems, mechanical filters, activated carbon filters, fine filters and other equipment. Mainly solve the following problems:
(1) Prevent scaling on the reverse osmosis membrane surface (including the deposition of CaCO 1, CaSO 1, S 2So 1, CaF 2, SiO 2, iron, aluminum oxide, etc. on the membrane surface);
(2) Prevent clogging by colloidal substances and suspended solid particles;
(3) Prevent organic matter from clogging;
(4) Prevent microbial fouling;
(5) Prevent oxidative damage to the membrane caused by oxidizing substances;
(6) Ensure the inlet water temperature and maintain stable water production of the reverse osmosis device.
This ensures the stable operation and service life of the reverse osmosis device.
1. Original water tank
The raw water tank is used to store water from the external network for the pretreatment system.
2. Raw water pump
This system is equipped with a low-pressure water pump to pressurize raw water and provide power source for the pretreatment system.
3. Flocculant dosing system
There is a certain amount of colloidal substances in raw water, and their particle size range is 10-10 -4mm -6. Due to its own dynamic stability and electrification, it is stable in water and direct filtration has almost no effect. The flocculant added to the raw water is basic aluminum chloride (PAC) or high-efficiency flocculant ST. It forms flocs with colloids, particles and other impurities in the raw water, which is beneficial to being filtered by the filter material in the fine sand filter, improving the filtration effect, reducing the turbidity and pollution index of the effluent, and ensuring the SDI of the RO device inlet water is ≤ 4. The dosage of PAC is generally around 2mg/1, and the specific dosage depends on the site conditions.
4. Mechanical filter
This system is equipped with a mechanical filter filled with refined quartz sand to intercept suspended matter, colloids and other impurities in the incoming water. The backwashing time of the equipment is determined by the turbidity of the incoming water, which depends on the turbidity of the raw water.
During backwashing, compressed air is sent into the water at the same time to scrub the filter material. The compressed air intensity is 18-25 liters/second·m.2。
5. Activated carbon filter
This system is equipped with an activated carbon filter. The filter is filled with coconut shell activated carbon, which is used to remove residual chlorine and organic matter, some pigments and harmful substances in the raw water, and reduce the COD content.
Because the irregular inner pores of activated carbon itself make it a breeding ground for microbial growth, a steam high-temperature sterilization device was added. Control the number of bacterial colonies in the effluent to prevent microorganisms from blocking the reverse osmosis and ensure the quality of the effluent.
The backwashing time of the equipment is determined by the turbidity of the incoming water, which depends on the turbidity of the raw water.
During backwashing, compressed air is sent into the water at the same time to scrub the filter material. The compressed air intensity is 18-25 liters/second·m.2。
6. Fine filter
A fine filter is installed in front of the RO device. The purpose is to prevent the pre-mechanical filter or activated carbon filter from operating abnormally (such as the filter layer has not been formed after backwashing or other human factors) for final inspection to prevent particles in the water from entering the ultrafiltration membrane module and damaging the membrane surface.
The fine filter uses polypropylene honeycomb filter element to improve filtration accuracy. When the pressure difference between the filter element reaches 1.0㎏/㎝ 2, the filter element in the filter needs to be replaced.
7. Antiscalant dosing system
Since the source water contains calcium and magnesium ions, and the desalination rate of reverse osmosis is as high as 97%, the concentrated water side is highly concentrated and will produce precipitations such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and magnesium sulfate. Precipitation attached to the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane will block the channels of the membrane elements, causing an increase in pressure difference, a decrease in water flux, and a decrease in desalination rate, affecting the normal operation and service life of reverse osmosis. Therefore, a scale inhibitor device is installed in front of the reverse osmosis device for protection to prevent scaling on the concentrated water side of the reverse osmosis device.
B. reverse osmosis system
This system is equipped with a set of 6m 3/h reverse osmosis desalination device.
The reverse osmosis device is the most important part of the system. Whether the design is mature and reasonable not only directly determines whether the RO system can meet the design requirements, but also affects the service life of the RO membrane. The water treated by the RO device can remove most inorganic salts and almost all organic matter and microorganisms.
The RO device has no phase change during the water quality separation process, high desalination rate, small equipment size, automatic operation, strong adaptability, wide application range, and no pollution. The RO devices assembled by our company are mainly imported famous brand components.

The membrane module uses the BW membrane element provided by the American Dow Company, which represents the highest level in the world today. The surface layer is made of a negatively charged aromatic polyamide composite membrane material, which has good resistance to mechanical tension and chemical erosion. The module has a large membrane area and a relatively large water production flux.

Under the conditions of water inlet volume of 9m 3/h, operating pressure of 1.5Mpa, and recovery rate of 70%, the water production volume of the reverse osmosis device is 6m 3/h, and the desalination rate reaches more than 97%.
(3) Auxiliary configuration
The reverse osmosis concentrated water side is equipped with a solenoid valve, which performs low-pressure flushing every few hours and during shutdown to flush away pollutants on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane and replace the concentrated water in the pressure membrane tube.
The reverse osmosis device is equipped with an on-site instrument panel that directly displays the pressure of the device's operating conditions, concentrated and fresh water flow, conductivity and other important parameters.
High and low pressure protection switches are installed at the inlet and outlet of the high-pressure pump to ensure safe and reliable operation of the reverse osmosis device.
3. Reverse osmosis cleaning device
No matter how perfect the pretreatment process is, various pollutants present in the water will always accumulate on the reverse osmosis membrane surface over time during long-term operation. As a result, the performance of the device (water production and desalination rate) decreases, and the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the component increases. For this reason, in addition to low-pressure flushing before daily starting and stopping the device, regular chemical cleaning is also required.
The cleaning device configured in this system can chemically clean the reverse osmosis device when the component membrane surface is contaminated by the feed water. At the same time, in order to prevent the accumulation of membrane surface pollution, the device adopts PLC program control and automatically flushes the membrane surface for 2 minutes every few hours, which can effectively prevent membrane surface pollution and extend its chemical cleaning cycle and membrane service life.
