Containerized Water Treatment Systems

Drinking water purification

Such systems typically include a number of steps:

• a sediment filter to trap particles, including rust and calcium carbonate
• optionally, a second sediment filter with smaller pores
• an activated carbon filter to trap organic chemicals and chlorine, which will attack and degrade thin film composite membrane reverse osmosis membranes
• a reverse osmosis (RO) filter, which is a thin film composite membrane (TFM or TFC)
• optionally, a second carbon filter to capture those chemicals not removed by the RO membrane
• optionally an ultraviolet lamp for sterilizing any microbes that may escape filtering by the reverse osmosis membrane
