How Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System Provide Drinking Water?
What is a reverse osmosis water treatment system?
A Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system uses a reverse osmosis membrane to remove impurities, salts, and microorganisms, resulting in clean water.
By applying pressure, the system allows only water molecules to pass through the membrane while filtering out contaminants.
The purified water is collected, and the waste is discarded.
RO systems are ideal for producing drinking water, industrial water, desalinating seawater, and improving irrigation water quality, offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution.

Process flow:
This reverse osmosis system key features:
Can this process flow be customized?
Yes! This process flow can be customized based on your specific water treatment needs. Depending on the water source, required capacity, and water quality standards, we can tailor the system components and process steps to ensure optimal performance.
Here are some ways the process flow can be customized:
1.Pre-Treatment Options:
sand filter （essential）
activated carbon filter（optional）
water softener （optional）
The sand filter is essential in the water treatment process, as it is required to remove large particles and protect downstream equipment. The activated carbon filter and water softener, however, are optional and should be selected based on the water quality, the customer’s specific requirements, and budget considerations.
2.Antiscalant Dosing:
For high-mineral waters, additional dosing of antiscalants can be added to prevent membrane fouling.
3.RO System Capacity:
The system’s capacity (flow rate) can be adjusted to match the required output, from small-scale residential needs to large industrial demands.（We can design your brand according to your needs.）
4.Post-Treatment Options:
Post-treatment steps can be added to enhance water quality further, such as:
5.UV Sterilization: UV sterilization uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses, ensuring clean and safe water.
6. Automation & Monitoring: We can install a PLC and HMI system for real-time monitoring, automated control, and easy management of the water treatment process.
The process flow can be adjusted to best fit the specific requirements of your project, ensuring efficient and high-quality water treatment. Feel free to discuss your needs, and we will provide a customized solution!
Can this system only treat well water?
No! Our Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is capable of treating various types of raw water, not just well water. In addition to well water, our RO system can also treat seawater, brackish water, groundwater, and other water sources. You can determine the type of your water source based on the following table:
Types of Water Sources That Can Be Treated
| Water Source | TDS Range (ppm) | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Well Water / Groundwater | 200–2000 ppm | Contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, etc. |
| Seawater | 30,000–45,000 ppm | Rich in dissolved salts, mainly sodium and chloride ions. |
| Brackish Water | 1,000–10,000 ppm | High dissolved salts, influenced by seawater or minerals. |
| Tap Water | 100–500 ppm | Treated water, still contains minerals and trace ions. |
| Surface Water (Rivers, Lakes) | 50–500 ppm | Contains suspended solids and organic matter, affected by rainfall and pollution. |
Based on the TDS value of your water source, you can select the appropriate RO system to ensure the water quality meets the required standards for purified water.
Besides drinking, what other uses does reverse osmosis water treatment have?
Can the design be customized to fit the limited installation space at the customer’s site?
Our answer is absolutely yes. Our core principle is to customize products to meet all customer needs. Even with limited space, we will design a product with the appropriate dimensions based on the customer’s provided specifications, ensuring it meets their water usage requirements and fits within the available space.
