1. Product Introduction

RO equipment with product water conductivity <10μs/cm is customized high-rejection industrial reverse osmosis equipment developed for industrial scenarios requiring stable low-conductivity purified water. Conductivity directly reflects the content of dissolved ionic impurities in water. Many industrial production processes including raw material mixing, product dilution, equipment cleaning and medium preparation have strict requirements on upper limit of water conductivity. Ordinary low-grade reverse osmosis devices often suffer fluctuating effluent conductivity under long-term operation due to insufficient membrane rejection performance and defective pretreatment, which leads to unstable product quality. This series RO equipment adopts high salt-rejection RO membrane and optimized pretreatment design to guarantee sustained effluent conductivity below 10μS/cm.

The whole unit adopts skid-mounted modular integrated design. Pipeline materials can be selected according to different working conditions to resist slight acid, alkali and organic pollution in industrial water. Front pretreatment system is equipped with high-performance liquid filter to intercept sediment, fine particles and colloidal pollutants, avoiding irreversible fouling of RO membrane elements and stabilizing long-term water quality index.

Customers can select specifications according to daily water demand: small processing workshops adopt compact small RO equipment; medium-sized manufacturing factories choose Industrial reverse osmosis pure water machine; large industrial parks can connect multiple sets in parallel, and match Industrial RO water treatment unit to optimize overall water treatment scheme. If lower conductivity ultrapure water is required, this single-stage RO host can be combined with two-stage RO or EDI modules for further deep deionization.

Many factory water treatment engineers distinguish this low-conductivity customized RO equipment from ordinary standard RO products. Conventional reverse osmosis equipment mostly adopts general membrane elements. When raw water salinity fluctuates, effluent conductivity is prone to exceed 10μS/cm. RO equipment with product water conductivity <10μs/cm is equipped with high rejection membrane components, matched with reasonable pretreatment dosing and flow velocity parameters. The produced purified water can be directly used for process batching, reactor cleaning, workshop cleaning water and auxiliary production water. Concentrated water separated during operation can be recycled for site flushing after recovery treatment. This series has become preferred supporting water treatment equipment for new-built and renovated production lines that have clear limit requirements on purified water conductivity.

2. Working Principle of RO Equipment With Product Water Conductivity <10μS/cm

Reverse osmosis is pressure-driven physical membrane separation technology. Under external driving pressure higher than natural osmotic pressure of raw water, water molecules penetrate semi-permeable high-rejection RO membranes. Dissolved salts, heavy metal ions, colloids and suspended particulate contaminants are trapped on the concentrated water side, realizing deep deionization purification of raw water and controlling effluent conductivity below 10μS/cm.

The complete industrial water treatment workflow is divided into four core stages:

Stage1: Multi-stage precision pretreatment filtration

Raw water sequentially flows through multimedia filter, activated carbon filter and liquid filter. This procedure removes suspended solids, residual chlorine and large colloidal impurities, reduces water turbidity and SDI value, and creates stable qualified inflow conditions for RO main unit.

Stage2: Dosing regulation and pressurization

Anti-scaling agent and biocide are added quantitatively according to raw water quality characteristics to suppress membrane scaling and microbial reproduction. Pretreated qualified water is boosted by high-pressure pump to reach the optimal operating pressure of high-rejection RO membranes.

Stage3: Reverse osmosis deep purification separation

Pressurized raw water enters membrane pressure vessels. High-rejection RO membranes intercept ionic pollutants. Water is separated into low-conductivity purified water and high-salinity concentrated wastewater. Online conductivity sensors continuously monitor permeate water quality.

Stage4: Intelligent monitoring and automatic flushing

PLC control system real-timely monitors effluent conductivity, operating pressure and liquid level inside water tanks. Automatic cross-flow flushing activates during shutdown to wash pollutants attached on membrane surfaces, slow down fouling and maintain stable conductivity. Operators can set periodic chemical cleaning cycles according to raw water conditions.

For projects requiring effluent conductivity far lower than 10μS/cm, two-stage reverse osmosis configuration is recommended.
