RCP010-40VPP Water Treatment System

Product Introduction

The RCP010-40VPP is a high-purity, high-efficiency water treatment unit engineered with premium VPP (Virgin Polypropylene) filter media, specifically designed for commercial, industrial, and high-standard water purification scenarios. This system integrates precision filtration technology with a robust, eco-friendly modular structure, focusing on removing suspended solids, colloidal particles, organic contaminants, and partial dissolved salts without introducing secondary pollution. Featuring an easy-to-access filter chamber, built-in pressure regulation components, and food-grade material construction, it ensures hassle-free installation, maintenance, and stable operation even under variable inlet water conditions. Suitable for standalone use or as a pre-treatment unit for reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF) systems, the RCP010-40VPP delivers consistent, high-quality treated water while meeting strict environmental and safety standards.

Filtration Precision

The RCP010-40VPP achieves a 0.1-micron filtration precision, which is capable of capturing ultra-fine suspended particles, bacteria, algae, and colloidal substances that would otherwise cause equipment scaling, clogging, or water quality degradation. This high-precision filtration capability ensures that treated water meets stringent purity requirements for sensitive applications such as pharmaceutical production and food processing, where even trace contaminants are not permissible.

Flux

Under standard operating conditions (25°C inlet temperature, 30 psi inlet pressure, and feed water turbidity <5 NTU), the RCP010-40VPP boasts a nominal flux rate of 40 gallons per minute (GPM). This high flux capacity allows the system to handle large water volume demands efficiently, catering to the needs of industrial cooling towers, food and beverage processing plants, and large-scale commercial water supply systems. The flux remains stable despite minor fluctuations in feed water parameters, thanks to the optimized flow channel design and high-porosity VPP filter media.

Salt Rejection Rate

Equipped with a selective VPP composite filtration membrane, the RCP010-40VPP achieves a 97% salt rejection rate for monovalent salts (e.g., sodium chloride) and 99% for divalent salts (e.g., calcium sulfate, magnesium carbonate). This exceptional performance effectively reduces total dissolved solids (TDS) content in treated water, making it suitable for boiler feed water pre-treatment, pharmaceutical process water preparation, and rinsing processes in electronic component manufacturing.

Pressure Drop

The pressure drop across the RCP010-40VPP system is maintained at a low range of 2–3 psi under nominal flux conditions. This minimal pressure loss is attributed to the high permeability of virgin polypropylene filter media and the streamlined internal flow path, which minimizes resistance to water flow. A low pressure drop not only cuts down on pumping energy costs but also prevents excessive pressure buildup, thereby extending the service life of membrane elements and other key components.

Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)

The molecular weight cutoff of the RCP010-40VPP is rated at 10,000 Daltons. This means the system can effectively retain organic macromolecules with a molecular weight of 10,000 Daltons or higher, such as humic acids, industrial dyes, and protein contaminants, while allowing water molecules and small inorganic ions to pass through. This precise MWCO rating makes the system ideal for wastewater treatment in printing and dyeing industries, as well as a pre-treatment step for RO systems to prevent membrane fouling.

Membrane Thickness

The filtration membrane of the RCP010-40VPP has a total thickness of 150 microns, consisting of a 115-micron porous VPP support layer and a 35-micron dense selective layer. The thick support layer provides excellent mechanical strength and pressure resistance, preventing membrane deformation or damage under high operating pressure. The dense selective layer is responsible for the system’s high filtration precision and salt rejection performance, ensuring efficient contaminant removal without compromising water permeability.

Replacement Cycle

The recommended replacement cycle for the VPP filter elements of the RCP010-40VPP is 8–10 months under normal operating conditions (feed water turbidity <5 NTU, regular backwashing every 72 hours). For feed water with high turbidity (>10 NTU), the replacement cycle may be shortened to 5–7 months to maintain optimal filtration efficiency and avoid contaminant accumulation. Regular replacement of filter elements is critical to prevent membrane clogging, pressure drop escalation, and a decline in treated water quality.
