Technological Process Of 1000LPH Water Purification Systems Installed At The School
This flow chart represents the sequential steps in a water treatment or purification system, with each process leading to the next until the water is fully treated and ready for use. The processes are as follows:
- Activated Carbon Filtration: This is the initial step in removing impurities and contaminants from the water. Activated carbon is used to adsorb organic compounds and some chemicals.
- Ion Exchange: This process involves the exchange of ions to remove minerals and ions that may be harmful or unwanted in the water.
- Flush and Micro Filtration: This step further filters the water by removing smaller particles and impurities through a microfiltration process.
- Antiscalant Dosing: Antiscalant chemicals are added to prevent the formation of scale or deposits in the reverse osmosis system.
- Reverse Osmosis: Reverse osmosis is a critical process in which water is forced through a semipermeable membrane to remove a wide range of impurities, producing high-quality purified water.
- UV Sterilization System: The final step involves exposing the water to ultraviolet (UV) light to kill or inactivate any remaining microorganisms, ensuring the water is safe for use.
This process flow chart illustrates a typical water treatment or purification system, which is used in various applications, such as providing clean drinking water or for industrial processes.

Treatment Process
Underground water with high mineral content requires a more vigorous way of removing these minerals. By use of membrane technology, we are able to achieve removal of minerals from water up to above 96% reduction levels whilst maintaining essential minerals that is healthy for intake. One of the most common treatment processes is reverse osmosis.
Reverse Osmosis: The RO system produces purified water (permeate) from the feed water via rejection of all organic and inorganic constituents by a semi – permeable membrane system. The RO system separates the incoming feed stream into two effluent streams i.e.
- The permeate (treated water) passes through Reverse Osmosis membranes and thus contains greatly reduced quantities of dissolved mineral salts and organics for use (typically ≥ 96% rejection ratio). The designed recovery of the RO machine is 50 – 75%
- The concentrate (reject water) is the stream which passes tangentially across the membrane surface and thus retains the impurities separated from the permeate stream. A certain minimum flow of the ‘concentrate’ is necessary to keep the RO membranes from ‘fouling’ due to the removed mineral salts and organic contents.
Treatment process
We recommend that the raw water from the borehole to be pumped to the storage tank (client’s scope).
From the storage tank, we recommend that this water be chlorinated and pumped through a filtration stage comprising of graded sand media and activated carbon for removal of free chlorine and any suspended matter that will cause blockage in the RO membranes.
More to that, water then flows through ion exchange for softening or (making water demineralized-adjusting the concentration) and reversal interchange of dissolved metals present in water.
Water then passes through cartridge filters for removal and separating of macromolecules and suspended particles from the water.
To prevent scaling (residue accumulation) of the RO membranes, it will be important to dose an anti-scalant into the water. GE Hypersperse MSI 310 antiscalant will therefore be dosed into the water. GE Hypersperse MSI 310 antiscalant is continuously added into the pipeline prior to the RO to prevent scaling using dosing mechanism.
Finally, the “pretreated” water will then be passed through a Reverse Osmosis Unit to reduce the Sodium, Sulphates, Total dissolved solids hardness and any other dissolved metals and salts and condition the water to fit the required
Flush valve will help in removing any remained residue from membrane after RO Filtration.
The water will then be pumped through UV for sterilization before flowing into the tank and finally is distributed directly to points of use {or can then be stored in a clean water tank (client’s scope).}
The RO system is custom made to reduce elements such Sodium to a value <10, TDS to <90, Magnesium to <1 and Calcium to < 1 just to point out but a few.
