1. Product Introduction
1 T/H output reverse osmosis equipment is miniaturized industrial reverse osmosis system developed for small-scale production, laboratory and pilot test scenarios. Many R&D laboratories, small processing workshops and startup factories do not require large water yield, but still demand stable purified water. Large-capacity RO equipment leads to excessive investment and low equipment utilization rate. The 1 cubic meter per hour reverse osmosis equipment perfectly matches low-flow water demand, balancing footprint, initial cost and daily operation expenses.
The whole unit adopts fully integrated skid-mounted modular design. Compact pipeline layout and optimized membrane assembly guarantee stable 1m³/h permeate flow under intermittent or continuous operation. Front pretreatment unit is equipped with high-performance liquid filter to intercept sediment, fine particles and colloidal pollutants, lowering membrane fouling risk and extending the service life of reverse osmosis membrane components.
Enterprises can realize capacity expansion through modular combination: when later production expands, multiple sets of 1 T/H RO equipment can operate in parallel; for scaled-up production workshops, users can upgrade to larger models including Compact 5 T/H Reverse Osmosis Equipment for Workshop Purified Water and 10 T/H Output Reverse Osmosis System for Medium Industrial Production. If ultra-pure water is required for high-standard lab testing, this primary RO unit can be matched with two-stage RO or EDI modules for further deep deionization.
Water treatment engineers often distinguish 1 T/H small-flow reverse osmosis equipment from household water purifiers and medium industrial RO systems. Domestic purification equipment cannot meet industrial continuous operation and water quality stability standards. The 1 T/H industrial reverse osmosis equipment adopts genuine industrial-grade anti-fouling RO membranes, complete dosing system and automatic flushing function, designed to adapt fluctuating raw water quality in industrial environments. Produced purified water can be used for lab medium preparation, small-batch raw material mixing, experimental equipment cleaning and production auxiliary water. Separated concentrated water can be recycled for site ground cleaning. This mini industrial RO equipment has become preferred supporting water treatment equipment for newly built small workshops and R&D laboratories.
2. Working Principle of 1 T/H Output Reverse Osmosis Equipment
Reverse osmosis is pressure-driven physical membrane separation technology. Under external driving pressure higher than raw water natural osmotic pressure, water molecules penetrate semi-permeable industrial anti-fouling RO membranes. Soluble salts, heavy metal ions, colloids and suspended particulate contaminants are trapped on the concentrated water side, realizing deep purification of low-flow raw water.
The complete small-scale 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 provides qualified inflow conditions for the 1 T/H RO main unit.
Stage2: Dosing adjustment and pressurization
Anti-scaling agent and biocide are added quantitatively according to raw water quality characteristics to suppress membrane scaling and microbial growth. Pretreated qualified water is boosted by compact high-pressure pump to reach the optimal working pressure of RO membrane elements.
Stage3: Reverse osmosis deep purification separation
Pressurized raw water enters membrane pressure vessels. RO membranes intercept ionic and particulate pollutants. Water is separated into two streams: low-conductivity purified water for production and laboratory use, and high-salinity concentrated wastewater. Purified water is stored in clean water tank for on-demand use.
Stage4: Intelligent monitoring and automatic flushing
PLC intelligent control system continuously monitors effluent conductivity, operating pressure and liquid tank level. Automatic cross-flow flushing activates during shutdown to wash pollutants attached on membrane surfaces. Operators can set regular chemical cleaning cycles according to raw water quality.
For laboratory ultra-pure water projects, two-stage reverse osmosis configuration can be adopted on the basis of this single-stage 1 T/H RO equipment.
