The Processes Made In ROWPU 3000 Water Treatment Unit

By Michelle Cook


The reverse osmosis or the RO technology is mainly used for purification. An RO has a semi permeable membrane that removes the larger particles, molecules, and ions from a drinking waters. It also has pressure being applied to overcome an osmotic pressure, a colligative property handled by the chemical differences from the solvent.

This technology is also being used mostly in the production of potable water and also in some industrial processes. The result for this is that the solute is retained to the side of membrane being pressurized and solvent passes to another side. Membranes will only allow the passage of smaller components like solvent molecules. ROWPU 3000 water treatment unit or reverse osmosis purification unit is mainly used for military purposes.

There are already a lot of drinking purification systems in the world today and the reverse osmosis is one of those. Some steps used in these systems include sediment filters, second sediment filters, activated carbon filters, second carbon filters, and ultraviolet lamps. Separating pure waters from brackish waters and seawaters is one of the most important applications for osmosis.

The membranes which are utilized for osmosis contain dense layers inside the polymer matrix where in the separation will occur. Mostly, membranes are only designed in order to allow waters pass through dense layers while not allowing solutes to pass such as ions. The osmosis process is popular because of desalination or separating the salt from seawaters to produce fresh waters.

The 3000 gallon ROWPU is mainly utilized by the militaries or armies for water purification. The process helps in the treatment of waters from being brackish or being fresh, and being contaminated. The system is stationed within an ISO container of 8 x 8 x 20 feet. The container is mounted on the military trailer of 30 feet. Its source of power is a generator having 60 kilowatts and found at the back of the trailer.

This system is designed for purifying 3000 gallons in a 77 degree Fahrenheit for only one hour. One of the factors that will most likely affect the production rate is turbidity. This system has also the capability of effectively removing concentration from the agents, chemicals, and nuclear radioactive origin of products that are hazardous.

The ways on the treatment process are the following. First, raw systems draw water from its source through course screens. Raw pumps are then filled with it and is turned on, and it pulls the air from suction hoses and it also pulls the water up from pumps. So to pull it up quickly, a hand operated prime may be used.

To prime initially, a hand pump or can is used. Using hand pumps may only take 2 to 3 minutes for lifting through the hose sections, if not, it will take 6 to 8 minutes. If the pump is already primed, the suction and as well as the check valves help in preventing it to run back down to the source when stopping the pump.

Raw pump pressure will deliver it to separators. In the separator will occur the swirling of it in high speed to toss away the dirt and the sand through a waste hose. When it passes the separators, it will then be transported to the ROWPU vans and the suction for the booster pump feeds the water which is pressurized to its infiltration components.
