Core Process Design Logic
- Pre-RO precision filtration (core protection): Adopt multi-stage graded precision filtration to remove all physical impurities (suspended solids, fine particles, colloids) in raw water that may cause RO membrane blockage and scratching, ensuring the RO inlet water SDI ≤5 (the key operation index of RO membrane) and avoiding physical pollution of the core RO membrane.
- RO deep desalination (purification core): As the core unit, RO intercepts ≥97% of dissolved salts, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, trace organic matters and other soluble impurities in water, realizing the qualitative improvement of water quality from raw water to standard pure water.
- Post-RO terminal precision filtration (water quality polishing): Perform fine precision filtration on the RO produced water to remove tiny impurities such as microbial flocs, membrane fragments and fine particles generated during RO system operation, and avoid secondary pollution in the water storage and delivery process, ensuring the cleanliness and stability of the final effluent.
- Full automation (operation core): Integrate all control logic into the microcomputer/PLC system, link with liquid level, pressure and conductivity sensors to realize unmanned operation, and reduce manual intervention and operation threshold to the greatest extent.
Whole Process Working Principle (Fully Automatic Unmanned Operation)
- Raw Water Intake & Boosting: Raw water is pumped into the system by a stainless steel booster pump with stable pressure (0.2~0.3MPa), and the pump is equipped with dry running and overload protection to avoid damage caused by water shortage or overload. The intake flow is matched with the rated water production capacity of the system.
- First-stage Precision Filtration (5μm): Raw water enters the 5μm PP melt-blown precision filter to remove large particle fine impurities (≥5μm) such as suspended solids, rust and colloids in water, which is the first barrier to protect the subsequent filter elements and RO membrane.
- Second-stage Precision Filtration (1μm, optional): For raw water with slightly higher turbidity, the water after 5μm filtration enters the 1μm precision cartridge filter for deep physical impurity removal, further reducing the particle content in water and ensuring the RO inlet water quality is more stable (can be omitted for tap water with excellent quality).
- RO Pre-treatment Auxiliary (optional dosing): For raw water with low hardness/salinity, the system is equipped with a miniature automatic scale inhibitor dosing device (optional) to add a small amount of food-grade scale inhibitor, which prevents slight scaling of the RO membrane and extends the service life of the membrane (no dosing required for ultra-low hardness raw water).
- RO Deep Desalination & Purification: The pretreated qualified water is pressurized to 1.0~2.0MPa (low pressure, energy-saving) by a special RO high-pressure pump and enters the RO membrane module (low-pressure composite membrane). Under pressure, water molecules selectively pass through the RO membrane (pore size 0.0001μm) to form pure water and flow to the post-RO filtration unit; dissolved salts, bacteria, viruses and other soluble impurities are intercepted on the membrane surface and discharged as concentrated water (the concentrated water flow is adjustable to control the water recovery rate).
- Post-RO Terminal Precision Filtration (0.22μm/0.45μm): The RO produced water enters the 0.22μm/0.45μm microporous membrane precision filter (terminal polishing), which removes tiny impurities such as microbial flocs, RO membrane fragments and fine colloids generated during RO operation, ensuring the final effluent particle size ≤0.22μm/0.45μm and the water quality is cleaner and more stable.
- Pure Water Storage & Pressurized Delivery: The water after terminal precision filtration is stored in a sealed food-grade pure water tank equipped with a liquid level sensor. When the water level is low, the sensor sends a signal to the control system to start the whole system for water production; when the water level is full, the system automatically stops. A pure water delivery pump with pressure maintaining function delivers the pure water in the tank to the water use point with stable pressure (0.2~0.3MPa) to meet the on-demand water use of users.
- Automatic Flushing & Fault Protection: The system automatically flushes the RO membrane with raw water/pure water for 1~2 minutes when starting and shutting down to remove the impurities adsorbed on the membrane surface and prevent membrane pollution; when the system has abnormal conditions such as low raw water pressure, high RO pressure and unqualified pure water conductivity, the control system will trigger acousto-optic alarm and even automatic shutdown protection to avoid equipment damage.
