Reverse osmosis technology can provide the fresh water needed for many industrial water treatment applications, such as power plants, energy plants, refineries, boiler feed water treatment, etc. Industrial reverse osmosis technology is essential for the continued productivity of these industries due to the corrosion-related problems that may occur inside the facilities (especially equipment and machinery). Therefore, industrial RO systems are often used as pre-treatment prior to other advanced methods in industrial water treatment processes.

All of our reverse osmosis (RO) components are manufactured in China.


Brackish water has a higher total dissolved solids content than tap water, but a lower salinity than seawater, and typically comes from groundwater sources. Impurities in the water make it difficult to use in many applications. For example, unpurified brackish well water can severely damage agricultural, residential, and other applications. Brackish water RO systems are designed to operate at pressures in excess of 200 psi, and pumps consume more energy at higher pressures. Brackish water typically has TDS levels between 1,000 ppm and 10,000 ppm. The system is designed to withstand higher pressures than tap water RO systems.


What is the difference between freshwater, brackish water, hypersaline water, and seawater?

The salinity (salt concentration) in water refers to the weight percentage of dissolved solids in the water, expressed in milligrams per liter or parts per million (PPM). Salinity concentration levels can be classified as follows:


Tap water Low TDS Up to 1,000 ppm

Salt water 1,000 to 5,000 ppm.


High salt water About 5,000 to 12,000 ppm.


Ocean or seawater About 12,000 to 45,000 ppm.


How does the Fupeng Seawater Desalinated Water Reverse Osmosis System (RO) work?


The RO unit uses Fupeng Seawater System technology to deliver incoming water to a multi-media pre-filter to remove particles larger than 10 microns. Then, antiscalants are injected into the water to prevent hardness scaling, which can damage the membranes of the reverse osmosis (RO) machine. These pre-treatment solutions remove hardness, chlorine, odor, color, iron, and sulfur.


Next, the water flows through the RO unit, where high-pressure pumps apply tremendous pressure to the highly concentrated solution to separate the remaining salts, minerals, and contaminants that the pre-filters failed to capture.


Fupeng Seawater Desalination Reverse Osmosis Unit Features:


1. Low energy consumption: Uses high-efficiency high-pressure pumps.


2. Quick recovery: Once a failure occurs, the entire system can be easily restored using standard parts. 3. Better filtration effect: Sand filtration, pre-filtration, and primary filtration in three steps, with excellent desalination rate. Its low power consumption makes it suitable for resorts, hotels, homestays, small businesses, and residential communities.


➣How effective is the saltwater reverse osmosis system?


The brackish water reverse osmosis system is undoubtedly the most effective and efficient brackish water treatment solution. Its efficacy is not limited to the removal of dissolved salts,

but also includes the removal of microorganisms, colloids, chemicals, and metals. The impurity removal rate of standard brackish water reverse osmosis systems is 95-99.7%. They convert brackish water into usable fresh water by reducing the total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration.


➣What are the limitations of the brackish water filtration system?


Fortunately, there are not many limitations to the brackish water reverse osmosis system. In fact, a comparative analysis of water treatment systems shows that the system is an efficient and reliable water treatment solution. However, several obstacles have hindered the evolution of brackish water reverse osmosis systems into complete water treatment solutions.


➣Where should I buy a brackish water RO system?

If you are looking for a high-quality brackish water reverse osmosis system, FupengWater is your ideal choice. We manufacture multi-industry systems for different industries and provide local and global delivery services. Our systems cover a wide range of salinity concentrations (up to 15,000ppm) with unmatched salt rejection rates.

We produce domestic, industrial and commercial brackish water reverse osmosis systems in standard configurations and customized versions. Our prices are customer-oriented and we provide customized repair components. You can easily place an order by phone, email or WhatsApp.


➣Can brackish water systems produce fresh drinking water?

Producing fresh and healthy drinking water is one of the main applications of brackish water reverse osmosis systems. Drinking untreated brackish water may cause illness due to the presence of excess salt and pathogenic microorganisms.

However, the brackish water system eliminates the threat of excess salt, metals and microorganisms in the water, producing drinking water that meets the standards approved by the World Health Organization or relevant regulatory agencies.

Using activated carbon filters in the system can eliminate odors and bad tastes. The system can also perform remineralization, and the recommended calcium and magnesium concentrations in drinking water are 30 mg/L and 10 mg/L respectively.

Brine production poses an additional threat to environmental degradation.

Some impurities, such as dissolved gases, cannot be eliminated.

Investment and operating costs are high.


➣ Can brackish water RO units treat seawater?

Compared to brackish water, seawater has a higher salt concentration. Therefore, a reverse osmosis device with a higher maximum TDS value is required to treat seawater. The maximum TDS value of brackish water is generally 15,000ppm, while the maximum TDS value of seawater is generally 35,000ppm.


FupengWater manufactures dedicated seawater reverse osmosis systems with components that achieve optimal performance under seawater conditions. Ideally, the seawater reverse osmosis system requires a higher pressure than the brackish water reverse osmosis equipment.


➣What are the basic features of containerized brackish water RO systems?
