Project Background

This project aims to solve the problem of substandard raw water quality in a certain industrial/commercial scenario (e.g., food & beverage, pharmaceutical, or municipal water supply) and meet the demand for high-quality purified water with a stable output capacity of 120m³ per hour. The raw water contains impurities such as suspended solids, colloids, and partial organic matter, which require advanced filtration technology to ensure the produced water meets industry-specific quality standards.

Raw Water Quality Data

The following table shows the test results of the raw water to be treated, which is the core basis for formulating the filtration solution:

Parameter	Value	Unit
pH	7.5	pH
Conductivity	502	μS/cm
Turbidity	<2.5	NTU
Total Suspended Solids (TSS)	<10	mg/L
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)	381	mg/L
Total Alkalinity	187	mg/L
Fluorides	2.605	mg/L
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)	0.729	mg/L
Iron (Fe)	0.112	mg/L
Silica (SiO₂)	91.229	mg/L

Core Pain Points and Requirements of the Project

Raw Water Quality Pain Points

1. Suspended Solids and Turbidity: The raw water has a turbidity of <2.5 NTU and TSS of <10 mg/L, which may cause membrane fouling in subsequent filtration processes and reduce system efficiency if not pretreated.
2. Organic Matter and Microorganisms: The TOC content of 0.729 mg/L indicates the presence of organic pollutants, and potential bacteria/viruses in raw water pose risks to product quality (e.g., food & beverage industry) or human health (e.g., drinking water).
3. Specific Ion Content: Fluorides (2.605 mg/L) exceed the standard for drinking water (usually ≤1.5 mg/L), requiring targeted removal; silica (91.229 mg/L) may form scaling and affect long-term operation of the system.

Production Water Quality Requirements

1. Basic Indicators: Turbidity ≤0.2 NTU, TSS ≤0.5 mg/L, TOC <0.2 mg/L, to meet the clarity and purity requirements of industrial or drinking water.
2. Microbial Control: Removal of ≥99.9% of bacteria and viruses, with optional sterilization systems to ensure microbiological safety.
3. Scalability: The system should support future capacity expansion and meet customized needs (e.g., upgrading to ultrapure water for pharmaceutical use). For ultrapure water solutions, refer to ultrapure water system.

Project Scale and Operation Requirements

1. Output Capacity: Stable water production of 120m³/H, with continuous operation for 24 hours.
2. Automation Level: Fully automatic operation to reduce manual intervention, with overload, delay, and other protection functions.
3. Maintenance Convenience: Easy replacement of consumables and remote technical support for troubleshooting.
