Successfully Installed 1000 LPH RO Plant at Capacite, Gurgaon
Purified water is important to commercial buildings, offices, construction sites, industrial sites, institutions and large workplaces. Raw water may contain dissolved salts, hardness, suspended particles, unpleasant taste or smell and other contaminants that are not desirable for direct use. A properly designed RO plant provides an effective solution by combining pre-treatment, membrane separation, process control, and water-quality monitoring.
Netsol Water has installed a 1000 LPH RO Plant at Capacite, Gurgaon, which is a commercial and industrial water purification plant that can produce high purity water. The installation illustrates the ability of the right size RO plant to satisfy the daily purified water need of a commercial water facility in a compact and manageable treatment setup.
This project serves as an excellent example of how plant capacity, treatment stages, equipment selection, installation, and commissioning can be linked to create an effective water-treatment system.
Project Overview
The project was the installation of Capacite 1000 litres per hour (LPH) RO plant in Gurgaon, Haryana. The primary goal was to obtain a dependable system for producing purified water on site for the facility rather than relying on the untreated incoming water or the supply of purified water from outside.
The product water capacity for a 1000 LPH plant is about 1,000 litres per hour per operating hour. The actual amount of production possible depends on the number of hours the plant is operating, the quality of the raw water, the feed pressure, the condition of the membranes, their maintenance, and the plant’s demand.
Netsol Water‘s commercial RO solutions rely on several treatment stages and not just the RO membrane. It has been documented that its commercial RO process encompasses the removal of suspended solids, treatment with activated-carbon, fine cartridge filtration, high pressure pumping, membrane separation, management of reject water, dosing, instrumentation and provisions for membrane cleaning.
The Capacite project is an important installation for Netsol Water as it further strengthens its reputation as a leading Commercial RO Plant Manufacturer in Gurgaon and the Delhi NCR region.
Client Details
The client for the project was the Capacit’e Infraprojects which is a company that is engaged in construction activities. It defines its sectoral presence as total contracting, general contracting and design-and-build services for such projects as high-rise buildings, super-high-rise buildings, commercial and office buildings, institutional buildings, hospitals, hotels, data centres, industrial buildings, mass housing, and other large projects.
Water availability becomes significant for the construction and commercial development, as well as infrastructure sectors, not just in providing drinking water, but also some functions within project offices and facilities.
A commercial RO system must then be tough enough to use regularly, and be easy to operate and maintain.
Project Location
The RO plant was setup in Capacite, Gurgaon. Gurgaon is among the important commercial and corporate cities of Delhi-NCR, which has a large number of offices, housing societies, hotels, institutions, construction sites, industrial units, etc. These facilities may need special water treatment facilities when the quality of the water is not satisfactory for the intended purpose.
Netsol Water in particular in Gurgaon offers commercial RO solutions and emphasizes the need for choosing a plant based on the number of users, water source parameters, water required capacity, installation site and maintenance needs.
Plant Capacity
The RO plant installed has the capacity of:
| Parameter | Value |
| Plant Capacity | 1000 LPH |
| Equivalent Product-Water Output | 1 m³/h |
This is a capability that makes the system appealing to facilities that need a significant amount of purified water over the course of a workday, but the amount is not too much to handle.
The rated capacity, for instance, refers to the theoretical capacity that the plant can achieve, for example, at 8 hours operating time it can deliver around 8000 litres, at 10 hours it can deliver around 10000 litres subject to actual operating conditions and availability of feed-water.
The sizing of plants is an important engineering design decision. Both an undersized and an oversized RO plant can have drawbacks in terms of meeting peak consumption and/or operating the plant efficiently. The 1000 LPH capacity offers a realistic compromise between capability, size, usage and commercial water demand.
Treatment Technology
RO is the main treatment technology being utilized in the project.
RO is a membrane separation technique where the pretreated water is subjected to pressures and allowed to flow through semi-permeable RO membranes. The water molecules traverse the membrane as purified permeate while a large percentage of the dissolved salts and other constituents that are not allowed to pass through are left on the concentrate side of the membrane and exit through the reject line.
But this successful RO performance relies on proper pre-treatment. If the untreated water is fed directly to RO membrane, it may lead to fouling, scaling, pressure demand, frequent cleaning and deterioration of the membrane.
The commercial RO treatment unit by Netsol Water, therefore, includes several treatment mechanisms, namely the sand filter, the activated carbon filter, the micron filter, the high pressure pump, the membrane, the dosing system, the instrumentation and the cleaning system.
This multi-stage approach is designed to help protect and stabilize the system performance of the membrane.
Influent Characteristics
One of the key components of commercial RO design is influent assessment. The following are some of the parameters that are usually assessed prior to the finalization of an RO system:
| Influent Parameter |
| Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) |
| Electrical conductivity |
| pH |
| Total hardness |
| Calcium and magnesium |
| Chloride |
| Sulphate |
| Alkalinity |
| Turbidity |
| Suspended matter |
| Iron, where relevant |
| Organic matter |
Depending on the water source, microbiological contamination occurs.
Water-quality parameters like pH, EC, TDS, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, fluoride, sodium and potassium are also listed as important water-quality parameters in Haryana’s water quality testing infrastructure.
This treatment system was designed to solve the larger problem of the conversion of the incoming water into a reliable high purity product-water supply, for the Capacite project, rather than simply basic filtration.
Treatment Process
The treatment sequence is in accordance with the multi-stage treatment principle proven in the commercial RO systems of Netsol Water.
A system for removing dissolved solids from raw water that includes feed pump, pressure sand filter, activated carbon filter, micron filter, scale control, high pressure pump, RO membranes, storage and use.
Stage 1: Raw Water Feeding
Water is pumped into the plant by means of a feed pump at the appropriate flow and pressure into the pre-treatment system.
Stage 2: Pressure Sand Filtration
Water is first filtered in the sand filter stage. This will help to remove any suspended solids or larger particulate matter that might enter the cartridge filters and/or RO membranes.
Stage 3: Activated Carbon Filtration
Activated-carbon treatment is the next step. Activated carbon is part of its commercial sequence for dechlorination by Netsol Water. Another property that can be modified by carbon treatment is the water properties, by removing some of the organic compounds that cause undesirable taste and odour.
Stage 4: Micron Cartridge Filtration
Fine filter before high pressure section, with a micron filter. It is a secondary barrier to smaller suspended particles.
Stage 5: Dosing and scale protection
The use of the proper chemicals allows control of scaling at the surface of the membranes. Often, the membrane is scaled and this can lead to lower permeate flow and higher operating pressure, which require protection for the long-term stable operation.
Stage 6: High-Pressure Pumping
The pre-treated water is pressurised by the high-pressure pump. The purified water must be pushed through the RO membrane against the osmotic pressure which requires adequate pressure.
Stage 7: Reverse Osmosis Membrane Separation
The water is split into two streams within the membrane system:
| Stream | Description |
| Product water | Water that has been treated to be used for various purposes. |
| Rejected/Concentrated | Water with a greater concentration of rejected dissolved materials. |
The permeate is directed to a storage tank or used as is, with the concentrate being directed to the reject or recycle system, depending on the plant design. Netsol Water refers to the same general process when referring to its commercial RO systems.
Major Equipment
The key equipment of a commercial RO system of this kind is:
| Equipment |
| Raw-water/feed pump |
| Pressure sand filter |
| Activated carbon filter |
| Micron cartridge filter housing |
| Chemical/anti-scalant dosing arrangement |
| High-pressure RO pump |
| RO membrane housings |
| Reverse osmosis membranes |
| Flow meters |
| Pressure gauges |
| Conductivity/TDS monitoring instruments |
| Level-control switches |
| Control panel |
| Product-water line |
| Reject-water line |
| Installing piping and valves between different units. |
| Connecting pipes and valves between units. |
| Structural/skid arrangement |
Netsol Water specifically records pressure gauges, flow meters, conductivity sensors and level switches for monitoring the performance of commercial RO systems and provides a description of a CIP system for maintaining the membranes.
These components combine to give not just filtration, but an environmentally regulated water-treatment process.
Installation Process
Installing an RO plant is no simple task; it must be done successfully. Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic, and Control components should function in a coordinated manner.
Netsol Water has confirmed success with 1000 LPH installation on the Capacite project.
A commercial structured RO installation would involve determining the space for the plant, positioning the filtration vessels and the RO skid, installing pipelines for raw water and product water, routing the reject line, connecting the pumps and the control panel, instrumenting and installing dosing lines, inspecting valves and pressure points, and ensuring product-water storage.
After mechanical erection pipelines and electrical connections are checked prior to controlled plant start-up.
This is especially crucial for organizations choosing a Commercial RO Plant Manufacturer in Gurgaon, as product supply without proper installation and commissioning could lead to varying plant performance.
Plant Commissioning
Commissioning is a process that transforms an installed RO plant to an operating treatment plant.
The commissioning process includes feed-water availability, correct pump rotation and pressure, flushing of the treatment system, checking filters, setting chemical dosing, checking for leakages, checking flow through the RO membranes, observing permeate and reject streams, checking instrumentation and automatic controls.
Pressure, flow, conductivity and water-quality behaviour are monitored during initial operation. Stable plant conditions can then be obtained by making adjustments.
Netsol Water has successfully completed many commercial RO installations, and all of these are instrumented to track both water quality and operating conditions, such as pressure gauges, flow meters, conductivity sensors and level switches.
The installation at Capacite is the successful completion of going from the equipment deployment stage to an operational purification system of 1000 LPH.
Treated Water Reuse and Utilisation
The design of the RO plant was aimed to produce high purity water for commercial and industrial use, and Netsol Water‘s project announcement was dedicated to the industries, offices, and commercial complexes.
Purified RO water can have applications where controlled water quality is required at a facility like Capacite provided the final water specification for the product is acceptable and the internal water-distribution system is acceptable.
Producing purified water on site, instead of having to bring the purified water into the site, may also help to minimise reliance on external supply of purified water, and enable the site to have more control over the water supply for the day.
Quality of the RO reject stream should always be managed based on the site requirements and quality of the RO reject stream. Where technically feasible, reject water can also be assessed for non-potable purposes, rather than be needlessly wasted.
