Purite Ltd, a leading UK manufacturer of water purification equipment, has launched a comprehensive new range of high performance, reverse osmosis (RO) systems, specifically designed for a diverse range of process applications throughout industry. Called Elite Plus , the new industrial RO systems are capable of providing flow rates from 17 l/h to 16,000 l/h with a 5-micron filter cartridge, to protect against contamination and remove particulates. Larger units are available that are specially built to order for applications which require even greater quantities of purified water.

With a maximum pure water recovery capability of 75% and minimum salt rejection of 97% across the entire range, the new RO systems are ideally suited to a wide variety of water purification requirements. For example, the new Elite Plus can be used for the provision of purified water for the manufacture of products ranging from electronics devices to food and drinks; for component or vehicle cleaning, prior to plating or painting; as well as a variety of general process and industrial applications including boiler feed.

Each system within the Elite Plus range is constructed from a robust, stainless steel base frame, with a tough plastic front panel housing for controls and instruments. Depending on the application, the Elite Plus can be supplied with either a specially designed polypropylene or stainless steel inlet filter.

Every system within the range incorporates the latest Puritron microprocessor technology for fully automated monitoring and control. In particular, the Puritron 500 microprocessor features two-digit alphanumeric displays for permeate conductivity, forced stop and full tank indication. The control system also incorporates alarm signals for low pressure, hard water and high conductivity as well as LED's for operation and disinfection.

For higher volume systems, such as the Elite Plus 16500ND, Puritron 2000 microprocessor technology is utilised, offering the same benefits as the Puritron 500 but with additional functionality.

The Elite Plus range is supplied with all necessary valves and instruments. A choice of options is also available, depending on requirements; these include heat sanitisable membranes, stainless steel pipe work and integrated softeners. In addition, Purite can provide all necessary pre-treatment, distribution pipe work, installation and project management support as required.
