High-TDS Brackish Water RO System

High-TDS Brackish Water RO System

Engineered for severe industrial salinity challenges, this high-TDS brackish water reverse osmosis system processes feed water from 3,000 mg/L to 10,000 mg/L total dissolved solids. By integrating high-pressure multi-stage pumps, high-rejection membranes, and automated chemical dosing, it overcomes high osmotic pressure to maintain a salt rejection rate above 99.2%. Built on a heavy-duty structural steel skid, it unifies pre-treatment, membrane separation, and PLC controls into a modular footprint to deliver continuous, high-purity water for heavy industry and mining operations.

Core Technology

 

Precision Antiscalant Dosing
Multi-channel pulse pumps inject scale inhibitors proportional to raw water flow to prevent silica and sulfate crystallization.

 

Concentration Polarization Control
Optimized spiral-wound feed spacers induce fluid turbulence, disrupting boundary layer salinity buildup.

 

Hydraulic Stress Balancing
Symmetrical headers ensure uniform pressure and flow velocity across parallel pressure vessels, preventing premature membrane telescoping.

 

Typical Applications

 

Mining & Mineral Processing: Desalinating high-salinity mine dewatering effluent for dust suppression and equipment cooling.

 

Oil & Gas Operations: Processing produced water and high-TDS groundwater for enhanced oil recovery or safe discharge.

 

Inland Municipal Water: Converting deep-well mineralized sources into compliant municipal drinking water.

 

Industrial Manufacturing: Supplying high-purity makeup water for high-pressure industrial boilers.

 

Operational Process Flow

 

Pre-Filtration: Multi-media and cartridge filters remove suspended solids and turbidity.

 

Pressurization: Vertical multi-stage pumps overcome high raw water osmotic pressure.

 

Separation: Polyamide composite membranes filter water molecules while retaining ions in the brine.

 

Post-Treatment: Permeate passes through pH adjustment or degassing as needed.

 

Hardware Configuration

 

Pumping & Filtration: Stainless steel high-pressure pumps with VFDs; FRP/steel pre-treatment vessels with pneumatic valves.

 

Membrane Array: 304/316L stainless steel pressure vessels with 8-inch high-pressure composite membrane elements.

 

Control Architecture: PLC with color touch screen interface and inline digital sensors for real-time monitoring.

 

Feed Water & Permeate Standards

 

Feed Requirements: Free chlorine < 0.1 mg/L; Turbidity < 1.0 NTU; Total iron/manganese < 0.05 mg/L.

 

Permeate Output: TDS < 50–150 mg/L; Conductivity < 50 µS/cm at 25°C; SDI < 2.0.

 

Engineering Customization Options

 

Material Upgrades: Skid frames in epoxy-coated carbon steel or full 316L stainless steel; piping in Super Duplex (2507) or 904L for high-chloride environments.

 

Energy Recovery: Optional isobaric ERD or turbocharger systems to cut power consumption by up to 35%.

 

Enclosure Design: Insulated, climate-controlled ISO 20-foot or 40-foot containerized skids for rapid deployment.

 

Quality Control & Testing

 

Weld Inspection: 100% NDT (radiographic/ultrasonic) on high-pressure stainless steel and duplex welds.

 

Pressure Testing: Hydrostatic tests at 1.5 times maximum design operating pressure.

 

Factory Acceptance: Complete dry/wet FAT testing, PLC logic validation, and full MTR material traceability.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the system handle feed TDS fluctuations?

A: Automated conductivity feedback loops and VFD pumps dynamically adjust operating pressure to stabilize permeate quality.

Q: What is the expected membrane lifespan?

A: Proper pre-treatment, antiscalant dosing, and routine CIP execution yield an operational lifespan of 3 to 5 years.

Q: Can it run on unstable power grids?

A: Control panels support dual power inputs, telemetry monitoring, and surge protection for remote industrial sites.

Q: What prevents membrane scaling?

A: Daily log tracking, automated shutdown flushing, and scheduled acid/alkaline Clean-In-Place (CIP) cycles.

Q: How is it installed on-site?

A: Skid-mounted modular assemblies enable direct offloading, minimal pipe connection, and rapid commissioning.
