1m³/h Double-Pass RO EDI System for Pharmaceutical Plant
A hygienic purified-water solution combining hardness removal, double-pass reverse osmosis, continuous EDI polishing, UV treatment and SS316L storage and circulation.
Project Overview
Lahore Pharmaceutical PlantA pharmaceutical manufacturer in Lahore required a reliable purified-water system to replace conventional ion-exchange equipment.
The available groundwater contained high hardness and dissolved salts. Frequent chemical regeneration increased operating work, while conductivity could not remain stable during continuous production.
Zhongnuo supplied a 1m³/h double-pass RO EDI system with automatic softening, UV treatment and a hygienic SS316L storage and distribution system.

Customer Challenges
Water Quality & ComplianceHigh Dissolved-Salt Load
Groundwater required multi-stage desalination before EDI polishing.
Chemical Regeneration
The existing ion-exchange system required frequent acid and alkali handling.
Unstable Conductivity
Water quality fluctuated during continuous pharmaceutical production.
Secondary Contamination
Storage and distribution required hygienic materials and continuous circulation.
Commissioning & Training
The customer required system testing, documentation and operator guidance.
Customized RO EDI Solution
Hygienic Purified Water DesignMultimedia and activated-carbon filters reduce suspended matter, organic impurities and oxidants. Automatic softening lowers hardness before reverse osmosis.
Double-pass RO removes most dissolved salts and produces suitable low-conductivity feedwater for the EDI module. EDI then removes residual ions continuously without routine acid or alkali regeneration.
UV treatment and final filtration are installed before the SS316L tank. Continuous circulation through the hygienic distribution loop helps reduce stagnation and contamination risk.
Important: The upstream softener still requires periodic salt regeneration. Its regeneration frequency depends on raw-water hardness, resin capacity and daily consumption.
Multimedia FiltrationReduces suspended solids and turbidity.
Activated CarbonReduces organics, odor and membrane-damaging oxidants.
Automatic SoftenerControls hardness and protects the RO membranes.
Double-Pass ROProvides low-conductivity EDI feedwater.
Continuous EDIPolishes residual ions without routine chemical regeneration.
SS316L CirculationSupports hygienic storage and continuous distribution.
