Project Overview

Zhongnuo supplied a 1000LPH borehole water treatment system for a residential community in Ghana. The community depended on local borehole water for drinking, cooking and daily household use.

However, the untreated groundwater contained visible sediment, high turbidity, odor and dissolved salts. It also caused scaling in household pipelines and appliances. A compact and automatic treatment system was therefore required to provide a stable supply of clean domestic water.

Project Information

Customer Challenges

The community faced several borehole water problems:

⇒Muddy water containing visible sediment

⇒Unpleasant odor

⇒High TDS and mineral content

⇒Scaling in pipes and household appliances

⇒Unstable water quality for daily use

The customer needed a reliable 1m³/h borehole water RO plant for community water supply with simple operation and low maintenance requirements.

Treatment Solution

Based on the borehole water conditions, Zhongnuo supplied a fully automatic RO system with multi-stage pretreatment.

Process Flow

Borehole Water → Raw Water Tank → Feed Pump → Multimedia Filter → Activated Carbon Filter → Water Softener/Antiscalant Dosing → Cartridge Filter → RO System → Pure Water Tank

The multimedia filter removes sediment and reduces turbidity. Activated carbon improves odor and removes organic impurities, while the softening or dosing system protects the RO membranes. Reverse osmosis then reduces dissolved salts and hardness.

Main Equipment Functions

Water Treatment Results

Following commissioning, the 1000 liters per hour borehole water treatment system in Ghana operated steadily and provided continuous purified water for the residential community.

The system improved water quality, reduced scaling and provided a more reliable water source for drinking and household use. Final drinking-water compliance should always be confirmed through local chemical and microbiological testing.

Project Benefits

Stable output of 1000 L/h

Clear water without visible sediment

TDS reduced to below 80 mg/L

Reduced odor and hardness

Less scaling in pipelines and appliances

Fully automatic operation

Simple daily maintenance

FAQ

Can this system operate continuously?

Yes. It supports automatic operation, membrane flushing and tank-level control. Routine maintenance and consumable replacement are still required.

Can it treat high-turbidity borehole water?

Yes. Multimedia filtration removes sediment and suspended solids before the water enters the RO system.

Can the treated water be used for drinking?

The system can produce water suitable for domestic use. UV sterilization or another disinfection system is recommended, and the final water should be tested against local drinking-water requirements.

Can iron and manganese removal be added?

Yes. A dedicated iron and manganese removal filter can be included when required by the raw-water analysis.
