250 L/H RO System for Drinking Water: Bangladesh Case Study & Results

Introduction

Access to safe and reliable drinking water is a fundamental need, yet remains a significant challenge in many parts of the world. A community-focused organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for residents in Bangladesh recognized the urgent need for a cost-effective and dependable solution to provide potable water. They partnered with Globaluf to deploy a 250 L/H (Liters per Hour) Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification system. This case study highlights the challenges, the solution implemented, and the positive impact of this project in Bangladesh.

The Challenge

Bangladesh faces considerable challenges related to water quality. The existing water sources often suffer from:

• Contamination: High levels of bacteria, viruses, arsenic, and other pathogens render the water unsafe for direct consumption.
• High TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): Elevated mineral content and other dissolved solids contribute to poor taste and potential health concerns.
• Inconsistent Supply: Erratic water supply makes it difficult for communities to access clean water regularly.

The organization needed a robust, reliable, and easy-to-operate water purification system to address these challenges and provide safe drinking water to the community. The purified water was intended for direct consumption and required to meet stringent drinking water standards. Furthermore, the system needed to be:

• Compact: Space was limited at the installation site.
• Energy-Efficient: To minimize operational costs.
• Durable: Capable of withstanding the demanding environmental conditions in Bangladesh, including monsoon seasons and potential flooding.

The Globaluf Solution

Globaluf designed and manufactured a complete 250 L/H RO system, incorporating the following key components:

• Pre-Treatment:
  • Sand Filter: Removes suspended solids, turbidity, and particulate matter, protecting downstream equipment.
  • Activated Carbon Filter: Eliminates chlorine, organic compounds, tastes, and odors, improving water quality and extending the life of the RO membrane.
• Reverse Osmosis (RO):
  • Single-Stage RO Membrane: Effectively removes dissolved salts, minerals, heavy metals, arsenic, and other contaminants, producing high-quality purified water. We utilized [Specific RO Membrane Brand/Model] known for its high rejection rate and durability.
• Post-Treatment:
  • Ultraviolet (UV) Sterilizer: Provides final disinfection, eliminating any remaining bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, ensuring the water is safe for drinking.
• Control System: A user-friendly control panel with monitoring instruments allows for easy operation and maintenance.
• Compact Skid-Mounted Design: The entire system was mounted on a stainless steel skid for easy installation and portability.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Quality Water: The system consistently produces purified water that meets or exceeds  WHO Drinking Water Standards.
• Arsenic Removal: Effectively removes arsenic, a critical concern in Bangladesh’s water supply.
• Reliable Performance: Robust components and a well-engineered design ensure reliable operation and minimal downtime.
• Easy Operation & Maintenance: The user-friendly control panel and simple maintenance procedures minimize operational costs.
• Compact Footprint: The skid-mounted design saves valuable space.
• Energy Efficiency: The system is designed for optimal energy consumption, reducing operating expenses.
• Customizable Design: Globaluf tailored the system to meet the specific requirements and water quality conditions in Bangladesh.

Results & Impact

The Globaluf 250 L/H RO system has had a significant positive impact on the community in Bangladesh:

• Improved Access to Safe Water: The organization is now able to provide safe and reliable drinking water to [Number] residents, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases and arsenic poisoning.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: Access to clean water has improved the overall health and well-being of the community.
• Reduced Healthcare Costs: By preventing waterborne illnesses and arsenic-related health problems, the system has contributed to lower healthcare costs for families.
• Sustainable Solution: The energy-efficient design and durable components ensure the long-term sustainability of the project.
