What role does the multimedia filter play in the ROWPU?

The multimedia filter is an essential component in the Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU). Its primary function is to filter out large particulates from the water being processed. This step is critical because the ROWPU requires relatively clean feed water to operate efficiently. By removing larger particles, such as sediment and turbidity, the multimedia filter helps prevent clogging and potential damage to downstream components, including the reverse osmosis membranes.

This filtration process ensures that the water entering the system is sufficiently clear, allowing for more effective subsequent purification steps. The size and type of media used in the multimedia filter are specifically designed to target various particulate sizes, enhancing the overall efficiency of the water treatment process.
