Powered only by Solar Energy, Applied Membranes’ Solar
Ultrafiltration and Reverse Osmosis systems treat river and well water
to produce water for drinking, irrigation, agriculture and other uses.
Hundreds of these systems are currently in operation treating water
with TDS of up to 10,000 PPM and product flow of up to 50
gallons/minute. Designed to produce the maximum of treated water with
the lowest possible energy these systems are compact and made for
outdoor use.
We do water drinking plants based on solar plants. Some remote mining
industries also don’t have electricity so we do turnkey projects for
WTP based on solar panels. Solar energy to drive water treatment
processes has become a potentially sustainable solution to the world’s
water scarcity issue.
Desalination plant of seawater and brackish water has become a
sustainable alternative solution to provide fresh water for many
water-stressed regions. Solar energy can be used directly or indirectly
to run desalination plants.
Our facility is outfitted with state-of-the-art machinery and
cutting-edge technology to help us to provide superior selection of
products as manufacturers of solar water treatment systems. And as
exporters of Solar Operated Water Treatment Plants, we meet the demands
of many clients and facilitate the efficient management of
business-related operations.
WORKING OF SOLAR OPERATED WATER TREATMENT PLANT
SOLAR RO PLANT (SOLAR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM):
As Solar operated drinking water system manufacturer, the Solar-powered
Reverse Osmosis Plant is considered the most efficient, due to its low
specific energy consumption (2~5 kWh /m3 ) while having the largest
desalination installation capacities.
HOW SOLAR RO PLANT WORKS?
In Solar-powered Reverse Osmosis Plant or RO PLANT and UF Plants, water
is fed to the membrane with high pressure to overcome the osmotic
pressure of the feed water. Freshwater is collected at the permeate side
while the concentrated brine is removed in the Solar Powered RO Plant.
Feed pressure of solar powered RO systems conventionally ranges from 6~8
MPa for seawater applications and 0.6~3MPa for brackish water
applications.
The productivity and recovery ratio of solar RO system or in UF system
is mainly affected by the properties of the used membrane, the salinity
of feed water, feed pressure and feed flow rate, etc. The
well-structured energy recovery devices in modern RO/UF plants
contributed significantly to the high energy efficiency of the process.
Vast research has been conducted in terms of solar-driven RO
desalination systems and Ultra Filtration System. When combined with
solar energy, RO or UF can be either run by electrical power that is
generated by photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar thermal power plants, or
by mechanical power that is produced from solar thermal energy by a
thermodynamic cycle. Additionally, as suppliers of solar water treatment
plants, our key priority have always been to fully understand client
demands and offer the finest solutions to consistently and economically
meet those needs.
REVERSE OSMOSIS IN SOLAR POWERED WATER PLANTS
In a PV-based RO system, PV and RO subsystems work isolatedly. Since
both of them are highly commercialized technologies, the technical
feasibility of the PV-RO plant is not much of an issue compared to its
economic feasibility and reliability.
Solar thermal driven RO systems or solar powered reverse osmosis, are
based on the organic Rankine cycle technology which is typically adopted
in solar thermal power generation systems. The ORC is a thermodynamic
power cycle consisting of organic working fluid and converts the thermal
energy input to the output mechanical energy. An ORC normally consists
of a pressure pump, evaporator, turbine, and condenser]. The organic
working fluid is pressurized and inserted into the evaporator where it
is ignited to evaporate by heat exchange with high-temperature fluid.
And then the vapor expands through a turbine to produce mechanical work
to run the high-pressure pump for RO. At the same time, the feed saline
water could be preheated in the ORC condenser to increase the RO
membrane permeability.
ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR WATER TREATMENT PLANTS:
a. Self-Contained Operation.
b. Portable for Water Treatment in Remote Location.
c. Highly Efficient and Economical.
d. Conservatively Designed for Reliable and long term Performance.
e. Factory tested to ensure trouble-free operation.
A solar operated WTP, water treatment
plants, is a facility that uses solar energy to treat drinking water,
sewage, reverse osmosis (RO) water, small effluent treatment plants
(ETP), and other types of water.
A solar operated WTP works by using solar
energy to power the treatment processes, such as filtration,
disinfection, and reverse osmosis. The solar panels generate
electricity, which is used to operate the pumps, motors, and other
equipment needed to treat the water.
The benefits of a solar operated water
treatment plant include reduced energy costs, decreased carbon
emissions, increased independence from the power grid, and improved
access to clean water in remote areas.
There are several types of solar operated
water treatment plants, including solar powered RO plants, solar powered
ETP, effluent treatment plants, and solar powered sewage treatment
plants.
Reverse osmosis can be used in a
small-scale solar WTP to produce drinking water for households,
communities, or small businesses.
An ETP can be used in a small-scale solar
powered water treatment plant to treat wastewater from households,
communities, or small businesses.
Depending on the plant’s capacity and the
treatment techniques employed, the price tag of an ETP in a
solar-powered water treatment facility might range widely. The long-term
savings and environmental benefits, however, may make it the more
affordable choice.
The maintenance required for a solar
operated water treatment plant is similar to that of a conventional
water treatment plant, including regular cleaning and servicing of the
equipment, monitoring of water quality, and replacement of filters and
membranes as needed.
A solar operated water treatment plant can
be installed in almost any location, as long as there is adequate
sunlight and space for the equipment.
In order to provide a more stable and
long-lasting energy supply, a solar-powered water treatment facility can
be combined with other renewable energy sources like wind or hydro
power.
The lifespan of a solar operated
water treatment plant can vary depending on the quality of the equipment
and the level of maintenance, but it can last for up to 25-30 years
with proper care.
