What Is an Automatic RO Plant?
An automatic RO plant is a water purification system that uses high-pressure membranes to remove contaminants from water. The “automatic” feature means minimal manual intervention—operations like flushing, pressure regulation, and safety cut-offs are handled automatically, ensuring consistent output and reduced operational errors.

Importance of Automatic RO Plant in Water Bottling
· High Water Purity: Removes TDS, heavy metals, microbes, and harmful chemicals.
· Consistent Quality: Ensures every bottle meets BIS/ISI drinking water norms.
· Automation Advantage: Reduces manpower requirements and operational mistakes.
· Scalability: Suitable for small, medium, and large bottling plants.

Key Components of an Automatic RO Plant

1. Raw Water Tank – Stores incoming water

2. Multi-Grade Sand Filter (MGF) – Removes suspended solids

3. Activated Carbon Filter (ACF) – Eliminates chlorine, odor, and color

4. Micron Cartridge Filter – Fine filtration before RO membrane

5. High-Pressure Pump – Forces water through RO membranes

6. RO Membranes – Core purification element

7. UV Sterilizer & Ozonation (Optional) – Final disinfection

8. Control Panel (PLC-based) – Fully automatic operation and safety control

· RAW WATER STORAGE TANK (By Client)

· RAW WATER PUMP
The Raw Water Would be Pumped To The MSF, ACF, And MCF By Means of a Raw Water Pump. This Pump Will Create the Minimum Head Required For The Multi-Grade Filter Pump To Boost The Water.

· MULTIGRADE SAND FILTER
The Raw Water From Its Source Will Is Directly Passed Through The MSF to Remove Suspended Solids From The Same. The MultiGrade Sand Filter Will Be Designed For a Filtration Velocity of 19-20 m/hr for Efficient Filtration

· ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
The Raw Water From Its Source Will Be Directly Passed Throught The ACF to remove Chlorine, Color & Odor From Raw Water. The Charcol Filter Will Be Designed For a Filtration Velocity of 19-20 m/hr For Efficient Filtration.

· ANTISCALENT DOSING SYSTEM
It is Processed to Dose Special Food Grade Antiscalent in the Feed Prior to the Cartridge Filter for RO System to prevent saturation of various organic salts especially Silica on RO membrane surface on concentration.

The features of this Antiscalent are:
· Prevent organic and inorganic fouling of the Reverse Osmosis system.
· Take care of high incoming silica and bicarbonate load in the feed to the RO thus Reducing Scaling of the RO Pressure Tubes.

· MICRON CARTRIDGE FILTER (MCF)
A MCF is provided to remove fine suspended solids, which may escape from upstream units. 5 Micron cartridge filter is provided which will remove fine suspended solids up to 5 micron, which if not trapped may clog the RO membrane. This would also eliminate problems in the high-pressure pumps due to presence of particulate matter.

· REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
RO will serve the purpose of Reducing TDS 1000 to around < 100ppm. The RO unit shall have a conductivity meter at the outlet to monitor the performance.

· STORAGE OF RO TREATED WATER
Remove back pressure in R.O. Membrane elements. It is only storage of the treated Water

· FINE POLISHING FILTERATION
To filter the water from 1 micron to achieve the crystal clear filtered water.

· UV SYSTEM
kill the bacteria from fine water

SCOPE OF EXCLUSION:
· Foundation for Equipment & Civil Works.
· Power, Water & Electrical works.
· Raw Water Storage.

· SOURCE OF WATER:
R.O. plant is designed based on 1500 PPM TDS&300 PPM raw water hardness
