Basic Notes Concerning The ROWPU 3000 Water Treatment Unit

By Mary Brooks


Reverse osmosis water purification unit which is widely known as ROWPU is mostly a system which is widely used by military forces together with the EAC purification units with an aim of supporting those basic operations which need the GS water supply. The unit is usually provided to those operating systems as the production capability demand which operates on twenty hours on daily basis. The ROWPU 3000 Water Treatment Unit is usually mobile especially when disassembled.

To reassemble the entire system usually demands very few hours which is usually less than three days. This type of system is basically designed in manner that it would operate effectively on the seas and oceans.

These machines are mounted on what is viewed as a standard military trailer which has a height of 30 foot and this can be transported overseas USAF aircraft. The machine is typically powered by a generator which uses diesel and has an utility of about 60kw. This engine is then mounted on a backside of a trailer. The ROWPU 3000 machine is specifically designed in such a manner that it would cleanse three thousand gallons of drinks on hourly basis especially from the sources of fresh water, this process is mostly carried out at temperatures of about seventy seven degrees.

Under normal circumstances the system has seven units which usually run from side to side of each other on a bare base site. This therefore would mean that around 154000 gallons of pure and safe drink can be produced on daily basis to supply those troops which are on field for an assignment. After drink has been successfully filtered and cleaned then it is stored in both the tanks and bladders which usually have a capacity of 50000 gallons.

Other factors which have the ability of affecting the production ability of this machine is the turbidity. The machine is designed ins such a manner that it would get rid of the hazardous concentrations which are commonly known as biological and chemical agents and the by products which are as a result of nuclear processes. The 1500 GPH was a machine which was actually developed with aim of replacing the 600 GPH ROWPU.

A single machine has been viewed to actually produce about 960 gallons on hourly basis. One of the most necessary factors for keeping these machines operational is the vigilance of the operator. For instance you will notice that most of these machines are usually turned off after about twenty hours of operation so as to clean their filters or even replace them so that the machine can be kept operating efficiently.

The cartilage filter gauges usually demand close monitoring on hourly basis so as to determine if there are any signs of a given problem. This means that the both the upkeep together with the maintenance work does not have actually wait for the normal four hour maintenance. This makes this machine to be very reliable and extremely dependable. Another important factor which keeps this system at its top level performance is the location of this system especially with regards to the drink source.

Specialist always advice that the system need to be placed very close to the drink source which should not exceed 75 feet away from the source. The system is basically a heavy one which then demands that it should be placed on a ground which is very solid. When the source of drink is more than 10 feet below the machine then an additional pump is actually needed to push H2O to the RWOPU.
