Beverage Bottling Facility RO Pretreatment & Membrane Protection
Pretreatment overhaul for a 120 m³/h brackish well-water reverse osmosis plant experiencing rapid cartridge filter plugging and high differential pressure.
The Core Engineering Challenge:
Fine silt and high silica concentrations caused weekly disposable cartridge filter replacements and required intensive acid Clean-in-Place (CIP) every 6 weeks, damaging expensive RO elements.
The Baseline / Existing System:
Conventional multimedia sand filter without coagulant, disposable 5-micron spun-bond cartridge housings, basic manual antiscalant feed.
What C-Water Engineered:
Technology Stack Deployed:
Measured Performance Improvements:
CIP intervals extended from every 6 weeks to once every 6 months.
Eliminated continuous purchases of disposable cartridge filters.
Consistent permeate quality meeting beverage strict conductivity specs.
