- Achieves ≥99.75% salt rejection and 99.9% removal of bacteria/viruses.
- Water Reuse:
- Purifies sewage for non-potable applications (e.g., irrigation, industrial cooling).
- Reduces freshwater consumption and environmental impact.
- Efficiency:
- Handles high flow rates with low energy consumption.
- Low chemical usage minimizes operational costs.

Other Industrial Applications
- Food & Beverage Industry:
- Clarifies juices, wines, and dairy products.
- Ensures compliance with strict quality standards.
- Pharmaceutical Industry:
- Purifies process water for drug manufacturing.
- Removes endotoxins and other impurities.
- Electronics Manufacturing:
- Produces ultra-pure water for semiconductor rinsing.
- Maintains cleanroom standards.
- Power Generation:
- Prevents scaling in boilers and cooling systems.
- Improves energy efficiency.
Working Principle
The BW30HRLE-440i operates through the reverse osmosis process:
- Pre-Filtration:
- Coarse particles are removed by pre-treatment systems (e.g., sand filters, activated carbon).
- Reverse Osmosis:
- High-pressure pump forces water through the semipermeable membrane.
- Membrane pores (0.0001–0.001 microns) reject contaminants, allowing purified water to pass through.
- Post-Treatment:
- Treated water is disinfected (optional) and stored for reuse.
Key Advantages
- High Filtration Efficiency:
- 99.75% salt rejection rate for superior water quality.
- Handles high TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) up to 10,000 ppm.
- Energy Efficiency:
- Low operating pressure (800 psi) reduces energy consumption.
- Durable Construction:
- Polyamide composite resists chemical and biological degradation.
- Wide Compatibility:
- Suitable for brackish water and seawater applications.
- Low Maintenance:
- Self-cleaning design minimizes downtime.
- Long service life with proper maintenance.
