Hidro-Water designs and manufactures an industrial reverse osmosis plant
with a capacity of 1,200 m³ per day for the food industry in Valencia The plant, designed to treat pre-filtered well water, has a capacity of 50 m³/h and incorporates advanced automation, safety microfiltration and a CIP system to ensure efficient, reliable and continuous operation.
A high-capacity solution for the food industry
Hidro-Water has successfully
completed the design, manufacture and commissioning of an
industrial reverse osmosis system with a production capacity of
50 m³/h, equivalent to
1,200 m³/day, intended for use
in the food industry.
The project, carried out in Valencia, builds on
Hidro-Water’s expertise in high-capacity
water treatment solutions, particularly in sectors where the quality,
process stability and safety of the treated water are
critical factors.
Design, manufacture and commissioning
Key features of this industrial reverse osmosis plant developed by Hidro-Water.
Production capacity
Daily production
8-inch osmosis membranes
Tank for flushing and CIP
A robust, efficient and automated solution
The system designed by Hidro-Water incorporates a
pre-microfiltration stage consisting of
two HFV220 filters with 20-inch HF cartridges
rated at 5 microns, the purpose of which is to protect
the reverse osmosis membranes from suspended
particles and ensure safer and
longer-lasting operation of the system.
The high-pressure stage is fitted with a
37 kW stainless steel pump,
controlled by a variable-speed drive, which allows
the system’s operation to be adjusted to the actual
operating conditions, optimising energy consumption and
promoting greater overall efficiency.
49 membranes arranged in two stages
The osmosis unit comprises
49 8-inch membranes, configured in
two stages to achieve the required
output of 50 m³/h.
In addition, the system features a
3,000-litre tank for flushing and CIP,
facilitating the rinsing and chemical cleaning operations
that are essential for maintaining membrane performance and
extending their service life.
Advanced control and continuous monitoring
In order to ensure reliable operation and maintain full control of the plant, the facility is equipped with control and measurement instrumentation for the main process parameters.
Pressures are monitored using pressure gauges and pressure
transmitters, whilst the permeate and reject flow rates are monitored
using two flow indicators/transmitters.
The system also incorporates a conductivity meter for the
percolated water, as well as pH and redox measurements for the raw water,
key parameters for monitoring the quality of the
feed water and ensuring the process operates correctly.
The equipment is automated via an
electrical control panel featuring a SIEMENS S7-1200 PLC and a
KTP700 display, which enables the management of plant
operations, the display of process data and facilitates
control tasks carried out by technical staff.
Industrial design using high-quality materials
The unit has been manufactured on a frame made of AISI 304 stainless steel, ensuring mechanical strength, durability and suitable integration into demanding industrial environments.
The manifolds have been selected on the basis of the
operating conditions: a low-pressure PVC PN16 manifold and a high-pressure
AISI 316 Sch10 stainless steel manifold.
Main frame designed to ensure
mechanical strength, stability and durability.
