AGRICULTURAL IRRIGATION PROJECT CASE
1000LPH RO System for Forest Irrigation
This is a forest irrigation project located in Kazakhstan. The system is designed to provide safe water with low TDS throughout the irrigation line. The system has a rated treatment capacity of 1000 liters/hour and uses a single-phase 220V/50Hz power supply. The influent total dissolved solids (TDS) value is 1233 ppm.

Project Overview
Start with the customer's real production requirement
This case study is based on an operating 1000-liter-per-hour reverse osmosis project in Kazakhstan. The system is configured according to the customer’s production requirements, with an influent TDS of 1233 ppm and a single-phase 220 V/50 Hz power supply.
Customer Requirement
Groundwater with salinity needs to be reduced before it can be used for irrigation.
Rated water treatment capacity: 1000 liters per hour
Operates 12 hours per day
Electrical specifications: Single-phase 220V/50Hz
Skid-mounted design with casters on the bottom
Easy to maintain; consumables are simple to replace
Engineering Focus
When determining pretreatment, recovery, and membrane configuration, factors such as hardness, alkalinity, silica, iron, chlorine, microbial conditions, and the required final water quality standards should also be considered.
For saline irrigation, it is also necessary to consider minimizing the proportion of wastewater and maximizing membrane recovery rates.
A comprehensive assessment needs to be made by combining existing water quality testing information with factors such as water color and taste.

Treatment Process
Treatment Logic for 1233 ppm Feed Water
The RO section is designed around the complete water chemistry, required product-water quality, operating hours and production demand—not TDS alone.
Pretreatment
Based on the complete feed water analysis results, a suitable process was selected to protect the reverse osmosis membrane. The final configuration included quartz sand filtration and activated carbon adsorption for pretreatment of the client's water.
Activated carbon: Reduces discoloration and odor in water, as well as some metal ions.
Fine Filtration
Reduce particulate load before the high-pressure pump and membrane section. The scale inhibitor system effectively prevents rapid fouling of the downstream membrane module. Designed to protect downstream equipment.
Reverse Osmosis
This method reduces dissolved salt content and produces process water required for jam production. Four VONTRON ULP-4040 series membranes are used, arranged in a three-section series configuration.
Although the water production of a single 8040 membrane is the same as that of four 8040 membranes, the recovery rate of a single 8040 reverse osmosis membrane is only 15%.
Storage / Supply
According to the production plan, provide the corresponding pressure and flow rate to the entire irrigation system. Based on the operation plan, select appropriate storage tank volumes, transfer pumps, material and liquid level controls, etc.
System Configuration
What the 1,000 LPH System Should Document
In this project, the core component brands and materials used in the reverse osmosis system
01
Raw Water Pump
The chosen water pump is from the LEO brand, with a flow rate close to 4 cubic meters per hour based on the equipment’s flow rate. The rated power: 0.75 kW.
02
Pretreatment System
The quartz sand and activated carbon filtration system effectively reduces water turbidity and removes unpleasant colors and odors.
03
Cartridge Filter
Equipped with a 20-inch 5-micron precision PP cotton filter element and a stainless steel filter housing.
04
High-Pressure Pump
A LEO brand reverse osmosis pump is used, matched to the 1,000 L/h permeate requirement and the calculated RO operating pressure.
05
RO Membranes
Choose the VONTRON 4040 ULP series module, equipped with 4 RO membrane modules, arranged in a 3-segment series configuration.
06
Product-Water Tank
Select appropriate capacity and materials based on peak production periods and hygiene requirements. (Customer prepares these materials themselves.)
07
Control & Monitoring
Equipped with an automatic control valve, it enables automatic flushing and monitoring and alarm functions for conductivity, pressure, flow rate, and liquid level control.
