Review groundwater quality before selecting RO
Prepare source-water and production information to assess pretreatment, further treatment and a maintainable supply arrangement.
This page is an application planning guide. Treatment roles are illustrative and must be reviewed for your source water and required use.
Application requirements
A factory using groundwater needs to assess the water source and intended use before choosing treatment. A TDS figure alone cannot establish suitability for direct RO feed or describe all pretreatment risks.
Prepare representative water information
Send an original analysis report with sampling date, location and units. The review considers hardness, iron, manganese, turbidity, dissolved salts, pH, relevant microbiological information and temperature, together with source-water variation and the production use.
Separate pretreatment from desalination needs
Illustrative assessment sequence: water analysis → appropriate iron/manganese removal or filtration → hardness control or other pretreatment where required → assess whether RO is needed → storage and supply. Treatment is selected for the source and target; one arrangement is not assumed for every well.
Review the feed to downstream equipment
Confirm the water after pretreatment against the downstream equipment requirements before deciding RO and membrane protection. Provide source supply, operating schedule, backwash and drain conditions, power, storage and use-point demand.
Questions before an enquiry
Does every well require RO?
Where the intended use does not need further desalination, assess the appropriate treatment and supply arrangement for that purpose. Where dissolved salts must be reduced, review RO after suitable pretreatment.
Can I enquire without a complete report?
Begin with the source, production use, approximate demand and known operating issues. Identify missing information for the next review.
Read an actual project record
Use actual records to understand the source water, application and delivery scope for that installation.
Send your application brief
Include country, source water, production use, required quality, daily and peak demand, site utilities and any equipment to retain. Identify missing details for follow-up.
