The Water Company designs and supplies industrial reverse osmosis (RO) systems for commercial water purification, water bottling plants, water refill shops and industrial process-water applications. Our range includes compact commercial units and higher-capacity RO plants designed to produce purified water for a variety of operational requirements.

Reverse osmosis uses specialised membranes to reduce dissolved salts and other impurities in feed water. The resulting purified water, known as permeate, is separated from the concentrated reject stream. The quality and production rate depend on the incoming water quality, temperature, operating pressure, membrane configuration and system design.

Pre-treatment is essential:

Correct pre-treatment helps protect RO membranes and supports reliable system performance. The required equipment must be selected according to the feed-water analysis and may include:

Sediment filtration to reduce suspended particles.

Activated carbon filtration where chlorine or other suitable contaminants need to be controlled.

Iron and manganese removal where required.

Water softening or antiscalant dosing to manage scaling risk.

pH correction or other specialist treatment where indicated by the water analysis.

Not every installation requires the same pre-treatment equipment. A water analysis should be used to determine the appropriate treatment stages and operating conditions.

How to choose the right industrial RO plant:

Before selecting an RO system, consider:

Required production capacity: Determine the volume of purified water needed per hour and per day.

Raw-water quality: Test the feed water for TDS, hardness, pH, iron, manganese, turbidity and other relevant parameters.

Membrane suitability: Confirm that the selected membranes are suitable for the water source and expected operating conditions.

Power supply: Check the electrical supply, pump requirements and whether single-phase or three-phase power is needed.

Water storage: Consider raw-water and permeate storage capacity, particularly where water demand or supply varies throughout the day.

Reject-water management: Plan for the concentrate stream and its appropriate disposal or permitted reuse.

Operating and maintenance costs: Allow for electricity, pre-filter replacement, antiscalant where required, membrane cleaning and eventual membrane replacement.

The Water Company can assist with selecting suitable water purification equipment based on your application, production target and water analysis. For larger installations, the overall design should consider pre-treatment, RO capacity, storage, distribution, controls and post-treatment where necessary.
