20 Tons/Hour Reverse Osmosis Equipment by Lefilter: Centralized Purification for Major Industrial Complexes
20 Tons/Hour (≈ 4,400 GPH / 105,600 GPD) Reverse Osmosis Equipment from Lefilter is engineered for heavy industrial applications where water purity and volume are critical to core operations. This is a plant-level system, often custom-engineered to interface with complex water intake and distribution networks, providing a reliable and high-quality water source for extensive manufacturing processes or large-scale utilities.
A Plant-Wide Water Solution
This system moves beyond a skid-mounted unit to a customized water treatment plant, requiring detailed engineering for integration, efficiency, and control.
Custom-Engineered for the Application
Advanced Pretreatment Plant: May include clarifiers, dissolved air flotation (DAF), or ultrafiltration (UF) as pretreatment, depending on challenging surface or wastewater sources.
Multi-Rack RO Train Design: The RO system itself will consist of several independent racks or trains operating in parallel. This provides operational flexibility, allows for staggered maintenance, and ensures system continuity.
Integrated CIP & Utilities: Includes a fully automated Clean-In-Place (CIP) system with heated chemical tanks for membrane maintenance. All auxiliary utilities (air, chemical dosing, power distribution) are integrated into the design.
Key Features of the 20 T/H System
Very High-Volume Output: Supplies 20 cubic meters per hour of purified water, serving as the primary water treatment workhorse for large facilities.
Custom-Engineered Pretreatment: The design starts with a thorough feedwater analysis, leading to a tailored pretreatment solution that ensures RO membrane longevity and performance, even with difficult feed sources.
High-Efficiency Design: Employs advanced design software to optimize array configuration, pump selection, and energy recovery, minimizing the total cost per cubic meter of product water.
Professional Project Execution: Lefilter manages the project from basic design through commissioning, including civil work coordination, piping interfaces, and operator training.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What civil works are required?
A: This scale typically requires a dedicated equipment room or shelter, a concrete foundation pad, and significant feed and product water piping. We provide detailed layout and foundation drawings to guide site preparation.
Q: How is the system commissioned?
A: Lefilter provides a team of engineers and technicians for on-site commissioning. This includes mechanical completion check, pre-commissioning, functional tests, performance testing (including 72-hour continuous run), and comprehensive operator training.
Q: What kind of service contract is available?
A: We offer comprehensive annual service contracts that include regular preventive maintenance visits, remote performance monitoring, emergency support, and guaranteed supply of replacement parts and membrane elements.
