The Main Uses Of The ROWPU 3000 Water Treatment Unit

By Michelle Cook


An RO or a reverse osmosis is a purifying technology. A semi permeable membrane is being used in order to remove some ions, molecules, and other larger particles from drinking waters. An applied pressure is also being used in order to overcome the osmotic pressure or the colligative property being driven by the chemical differences of the solvent.

This RO technology is widely used for producing a potable water and as well as for industrial processes. As a result to this, the solute will then be retained in the pressurized side of the membrane and the solvent would then go to the other membrane side. The membrane will only allow the small components to proceed like the solvent molecules. The ROWPU 3000 water treatment unit will be used mainly for most 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.

The ways on the treatment process are the following. First, raw systems draw water from its source through course screens. Raw pumps are then filled with it and is turned on, and it pulls the air from suction hoses and it also pulls the water up from pumps. So to pull it up quickly, a hand operated prime may be used.

For the initial priming, use a can or a hand pump. For faster lifting, use hand pumps because it only takes 3 minutes to finish, or choosing not to use will take 8 minutes to finish lifting. After priming the pump, the check valves and the suctions help in its prevention of running reversely down to the sources.

The pressure of the raw pump will then deliver it to the separators wherein it will be swirled in high speed to be able to throw the dirt and sand outside through waste hoses. When it passes in the separators, it is delivered to the ROWPU van where the booster pump suction feeds the pressurized water to infiltration components.
