The Processes Made In ROWPU 3000 Water Treatment Unit

By Michelle Cook


A reverse osmosis or RO is a technology that is used for purifying. It uses a membrane which is semi permeable for removing the molecules, ions, and some other larger particles from the drinking water. It also uses an applied pressure for overcoming any osmotic pressure which is a colligative property driven by some chemical differences of 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.

Nowadays, there are a lot of systems for drinking purifications are already used and one if it is the reverse osmosis. Ultraviolet lamp, activated carbon filter, sediment filter, second carbon filter, and second sediment filter are some steps that are used in processing. The separation of pure waters from salty waters can be one important process involved in osmosis.

The utilized membranes in a process of osmosis have dense layers in the polymer matrix. The polymer matrix is where the separating process will occur. The membranes are usually designed only to allow the waters in passing through dense layers and will not allow solutes to pass such as the ions. This osmosis process became more popular because of salt separation from the seawaters. This process is called desalination.

The ROWPU with 3000 gallons is used by the armies for purifying water. This process will help in treating waters which may either be fresh or brackish, or if it is contaminated. The system is contained in a 8 x 8 x 20 feet sized ISO container mounted on a military trailer with a size of 30 feet. The power source that has 60 kilowatts generator can be found at the rear part of 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 here are the ways on how this treatment unit is being processed. First is the raw system draws it from the source through a course screen. The raw pump will then be filled and it is turned on, pulling air from the suction hose and pulling it up from the pump as well. So for it to be pulled up quickly, a prime which is hand operated must 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.

Raw pump pressure will deliver it to separators. In the separator will occur the swirling of it in high speed to toss away the dirt and the sand through a waste hose. When it passes the separators, it will then be transported to the ROWPU vans and the suction for the booster pump feeds the water which is pressurized to its infiltration components.
