The Purposes Of Using 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 that are utilized in osmosis are containing dense layers in its polymer matrix where the separation occurs. Membranes are mostly designed only for allowing the water to pass through the dense layers and not allowing the solutes to pass like the ions. This process of osmosis is known for its desalination or the separation of salt from seawaters, thus, producing 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.

The system was designed in order to purify 3,000 gallons in 77 degrees Fahrenheit temperature in just one hour. Turbidity is one factor that would more likely affect the rate of production. The system also has the capability to remove effectively any concentration of the chemicals, agents, and radioactive of nuclear origin products which may be hazardous.

So the following are the ways for the treatment process. First, a raw system will be drawing water from source through using course screens. A raw pump will be filled with it, it is switched on and will start on pulling the air from suction hose while pulling up the water as well from pump. Hand operated primes are suggested to be able to pull it quickly.

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.

The raw pump pressure delivers it to separators where it is swirled in fast speed. This is done in order to throw away the sand and dirt through the waste hoses. If it passes in separators, it will be delivered to ROWPU vans and the booster pump suctions will feed the pressurized waters to the infiltration components.
