1000 LPH Industrial RO Plant

For pretreatment, we fitted two 304 stainless steel tanks onto the frame. The stainless steel has that natural muted silver finish; we skip over-polishing that only adds cost and brings no real benefit for water treatment. Each tank runs with an automatic control valve. One works as a quartz sand filter, catching sediment, rust and loose solids from raw borehole water. The second holds activated carbon to strip residual chlorine, discoloration and organic contaminants out of the feed water. This step is critical to keep the RO membranes safe from oxidation. After these two tanks, water goes through a 5 micron security filter to trap any fine leftover particles before entering the RO loop.

Purification follows standard reverse osmosis principles. A vertical stainless steel high-pressure pump keeps steady pressure across the membranes to filter out dissolved salts, heavy metals, bacteria and colloids. The white FRP membrane housings you see in the pictures are our standard choice for this model. We mount pressure gauges and rotamers on both product and concentrate lines, so operators can easily check flow and pressure readings and tweak settings on site as needed.

The control panel in the middle comes with a touchscreen PLC. It runs automatically most of the time, but we always leave manual mode accessible for maintenance or CIP cleaning. Safety interlocks will shut the system down if feed pressure drops, water supply runs dry or pressure spikes. This protects the membranes from burning out, a risk we've seen quite often on many rural African sites where power and water supply can be unstable.

The frame, tanks and all wetted piping are food-grade 304 stainless steel. We grind all welds smooth, and use clamp connections. Clamp fittings make it simple to take sections apart for regular cleaning and sanitising - this is really important for anyone making drinking water or beverage products. Every valve and fitting we pick is built for continuous water treatment service, with sealing reliability front of mind.

When incoming TDS sits below 1000 ppm, this skid consistently hits 1000 litres per hour of purified water, and desalination usually stays above 97%. Actual recovery typically lands between 60% and 68%, and it shifts a fair bit depending on the raw water quality. It works with borehole water, surface water and municipal tap water, though we always ask for a full water test report before locking in an order.

We spaced out the membrane rack and filter housing on purpose to make servicing easier. Our field technicians often mention this small design callout: staff can swap filters or pull RO membranes out without stripping down the whole frame. Compared with separate parts that clients assemble on site, this skid design takes up much less floor space, perfect for small beverage workshops, local bottling plants and lab water rooms.

Customers use this 1000 LPH industrial RO plant for mineral water bottling, food process water, small-scale pharmaceutical purified water and lab water supply. It can run on its own, or we can add UV sterilizers, ozone generators, EDI modules and storage tanks if they want a full production line.
