Composition and Function of Rural Integrated Water Treatment Equipment

+Rural integrated water treatment equipment is an integrated treatment device designed for the water quality characteristics of dispersed water sources (such as well water, river water, pond water, etc.) in rural areas. It can efficiently remove impurities, microorganisms, pollutants, etc. from water and improve water quality safety. Its composition and function are as follows:
1、 Core components
1. Preprocessing unit
Grille/filter screen
Function: Intercept large suspended impurities in water (such as branches, weeds, sediment particles, etc.), prevent subsequent equipment blockage, and protect water pumps and filter media.
Sedimentation tank/flocculation reaction tank
Function: By adding coagulants (such as polyaluminum chloride), small suspended particles in water are condensed into large particles, which settle and separate in the sedimentation tank, reducing the turbidity of water.
Multi media filter (sand filter/carbon filter)
Sand filter layer: further removes suspended solids, colloids, rust, etc. from the water, reducing the turbidity of the water.
Activated carbon filter layer: adsorbs organic matter, odors, residual chlorine, and some heavy metals (such as iron and manganese) in water, improving water quality and taste.
2. Deep processing unit
Ultrafiltration Membrane (UF)/Microfiltration Membrane (MF)
Function: With membrane filtration as the core, it intercepts bacteria, viruses, algae, macromolecular organic matter, etc. in water, with a filtration accuracy of 0.01-0.1 microns, without the need for chemical agents, and retains beneficial minerals.
Reverse osmosis (RO) system (some equipment)
Function: For high pollution or high salinity water sources, the RO membrane (with a filtration accuracy of 0.0001 microns) is used to remove soluble pollutants such as heavy metals, nitrates, and pesticide residues, producing pure water (suitable for areas with extremely poor water quality).
Softening device (optional)
Function: Remove calcium and magnesium ions through ion exchange resin, reduce water hardness, and avoid the formation of scale after long-term use (especially suitable for rural areas with high groundwater hardness).
3. Disinfection unit
Ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer
Function: Using ultraviolet radiation to destroy the DNA structure of microorganisms, kill bacteria, viruses, spores, etc., without chemical residues, high disinfection efficiency (requires pre filtration to ensure clear water quality, otherwise it will affect UV penetration).
Chlorine dioxide generator (optional)
Function: By generating chlorine dioxide through chemical reactions, it has a broad-spectrum bactericidal effect on water bodies and a continuous disinfection effect. It is suitable for rural centralized water supply scenarios with long water supply networks.
4. Self control and auxiliary systems
automatic control system
It includes liquid level sensors, pressure switches, PLC control cabinets, etc., which can achieve automatic start stop, backwashing (such as timed flushing of sand/ultrafiltration membranes), fault alarms, etc., reducing manual operations.
Water storage and supply equipment
Clear water tank: stores treated standard water to ensure continuous water supply.
Boosting pump: delivers processed water to the user end or pipeline network to meet the pressure demand of decentralized water use in rural areas.
Pharmaceutical dosing device (optional)
Used for automatic quantitative addition of coagulants, disinfectants, etc. to ensure stable treatment effects (such as in the flocculation process for high turbidity water sources).

2、 Core role
Purifying water quality and ensuring drinking water safety
Remove suspended impurities, microorganisms (bacteria, viruses), organic pollutants, heavy metals, etc. from water to meet the “Sanitary Standards for Drinking Water” (GB 5749-2022), and solve health problems such as diarrhea and poisoning caused by water source pollution in rural areas.
Adapt to the characteristics of rural water sources
In response to the dispersed water sources and large fluctuations in water quality in rural areas (such as sudden increases in river turbidity and high hardness of well water during the rainy season), flexible treatment is achieved through modular design, without the need for complex infrastructure and easy installation and maintenance.
Lower maintenance cost
Integrated equipment has high integration degree, small footprint, and automated operation reduces manual input; Some equipment, such as ultrafiltration membranes, can be backwashed regularly to extend their lifespan and reduce the frequency of consumable replacement.
Meet diverse water needs
Not only can it provide drinking water, but the treated water can also be used for rural irrigation, aquaculture, household water use, etc., improving water resource utilization efficiency.
3、 Applicable scenarios
Centralized water supply in rural areas (such as village unified water supply stations) and decentralized water supply for farmers;
Independent water supply for small schools, health clinics, rural cooperatives, and other places;
Areas where water sources are contaminated (such as pesticide or domestic sewage infiltration) or have high water hardness and turbidity.
The integrated rural water treatment equipment, through a combination process of “pretreatment+deep filtration+disinfection”, balances treatment efficiency and practicality, and is one of the key equipment for solving rural drinking water safety problems.
