How Reverse Osmosis RO Water Plant Produce Drinking Water？

Haiyuan Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Plant is an industrial and commercial water purification system designed to remove dissolved salts, minerals, heavy metals, bacteria, and other impurities from raw water.It uses high-pressure pumps to push water through a 0.0001-micron RO membrane, producing clean, safe, and low-TDS purified water.

Haiyuan provides fully customized RO water plants with capacities ranging from 1000 L/h to 50 m³/h, suitable for brackish water, well water, tap water, and seawater.

What Haiyuan RO Water Plant Can Do:

• Produce safe drinking water for communities and cities

• Treat well water with high TDS, hardness, iron, and manganese

• Desalinate seawater for islands, ships, and coastal areas

• Supply purified water for factories and industrial processes

• Provide clean water for hotels, hospitals, schools, and farms

• Support agriculture and irrigation

• Serve as a complete containerized mobile water station

Reverse Osmosis RO Water Plant Process Flow

• Raw Water Pump – Supplies raw water

• Sand / Multimedia Filter – Removes turbidity and suspended solids

• Activated Carbon Filter – Removes chlorine, organic matter, odor

• Water Softener – Reduces hardness to prevent scaling.

• Antiscalant Dosing – Prevents scale on RO membranes from minerals.

• Cartridge Filter (5 µm) – Final protection before RO

• High-Pressure Pump – Provides pressure for the RO membrane

• RO Membrane System – 0.0001-micron core filtration

• Clean Water Tank – Stores permeate water

• Post-Treatment (Optional) – UV, ozone, mineralization

For raw water with good quality, such as low turbidity or low hardness, the sand filter or water softener stages can be reduced. For low-TDS water sources, the water can even go directly to the RO system without softening or antiscalant dosing, simplifying the process.

On the other hand, additional treatment steps can be added based on water quality requirements: UV disinfection for water with high microbial content, ozone or chlorine dosing for industrial sterilization or preservation, and mineralization or pH adjustment to improve the taste and health quality of drinking water.

In addition to the essential process steps, customers have the flexibility to choose additional accessories based on their specific needs, the quality of the raw water, and the intended use of the treated water. Of course, opting for just the basic process steps is also a great choice when working with a limited budget.

What Types of Raw Water Can be Treated?

Raw Water Type	TDS Range	Common Sources	Treatment Type
Tap Water	100–1,500 ppm	Municipal water supply, city water	Removes chlorine, sediments, impurities
Well Water	500–10,000 ppm	Groundwater, wells, boreholes	Removes hardness, iron, manganese
Brackish Water (BWRO)	2000–19,000 ppm	Coastal aquifers, rivers, lakes	Removes salts and dissolved solids
Seawater (SWRO)	35,000–45,000 ppm	Oceans, seawater bodies	High pressure removes salt and minerals
Surface Water	100–5,000 ppm	Rivers, lakes, reservoirs	Requires filtration for suspended solids and organics

Key RO Plant Categories

1. Brackish Water RO (BWRO): Treats water with moderate salinity, often from groundwater or rivers.

2. Seawater RO (SWRO): High pressure desalination for seawater to produce freshwater.

3. Industrial RO: For large-scale industries requiring high volumes of purified water, e.g., food and beverage production, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.

4. Commercial RO: Smaller systems for commercial buildings such as hotels, offices, and restaurants.

5. Containerized RO: All-in-one RO systems in containers, perfect for remote or mobile applications.

6. Solar Powered RO: Ideal for regions without reliable electricity, using solar energy to operate the RO system.

Install Reverse Osmosis RO Plant  Inside the Container

Besides installing the reverse osmosis RO water plant directly on-site, it can also be installed inside a 20-foot or 40-foot container.Containerized RO Systems are fully integrated and pre-installed RO water treatment systems,these systems are designed for easy transportation, fast installation, and operation in remote or off-grid locations.

1. Plug-and-Play:The system is ready to use as soon as it is powered on. No additional setup or assembly is required.

2. No On-Site Assembly:All components are pre-assembled and connected inside the container, reducing installation time and labor costs.

3. Protects the Equipment:The container provides a controlled environment, shielding the equipment from harsh weather and external damage, ensuring smooth operation.

4. Easy to Transport and Relocate:The containerized system is highly portable, making it easy to move to different locations as needed.

5. Multiple Applications:Suitable for various uses, including remote water supply, disaster relief, industrial sites, and more.

If you have the above requirements, containerized RO plant is a good choice. Of course, if you have a limited budget, you can also choose a second-hand container.
