Executive Summary
In December 2019, Shandong Huichuang Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd. successfully completed and passed the official site acceptance test for a massive 400m³/h ultra-pure water treatment system engineered for Shandong Lubei Chemical Group Co., Ltd.
Designed to meet the stringent water purity requirements of high-pressure power plant boilers and large-scale chemical processing, this turnkey engineering project integrates advanced Ultrafiltration (UF), Reverse Osmosis (RO), and Mixed Bed Ion Exchange technologies. The facility delivers a continuous supply of high-purity water, protecting critical boiler infrastructure from scaling and corrosion while reducing overall chemical consumption.
Project Background & Client Challenges
Shandong Lubei Chemical Group is a renowned industrial conglomerate specializing in fertilizers, eco-chemicals, and power generation. To support its expanded chemical production lines and power plant utility boilers, the group required a high-capacity water treatment solution to tackle several challenges:
- Massive Volumetric Requirement: A continuous, high-volume supply of 400m³/h pure water with high system reliability (24/7 uninterrupted operation).
- Stringent Purity Standards: Raw water needed deep desilting and ion removal to achieve ultra-low conductivity (<0.1μS/㎝ ) and high resistivity to prevent thermal boiler fouling.
- Fluctuating Intake Water Quality: Complex raw water parameters demanded a resilient pre-treatment matrix to protect downstream high-precision membrane elements from rapid fouling.
Technical Solution & System Architecture
To ensure multi-stage protection and optimal energy efficiency, Shandong Huichuang designed a complete process flow combining physical pre-filtration, membrane separation, and deep ion polisher exchange:

Key Technological Highlights:
- High-Efficiency Ultrafiltration (UF) Skid: Utilizing PVDF hollow-fiber UF membranes as pre-treatment to intercept colloids, microorganisms, and fine particles, ensuring the Silt Density Index (SDI) remains consistently below 2.0 to safeguard the downstream RO membranes.
- Double-Stage Reverse Osmosis (RO): Equipped with premium-grade high-rejection RO membrane elements and Grundfos energy-efficient high-pressure pumps, achieving a overall desalination rate exceeding 98.5%.
- Mixed Bed Deep Deionization: Mixed cation-anion resin polisher beds reduce residual ion concentration to micro-quantities, elevating water resistivity to meet strict power boiler feed standards.
- Smart Automation & PLC Central Control: Outfitted with Siemens PLC and SCADA human-machine interface (HMI) for real-time online monitoring of pressure, flow rate, pH, and electrical conductivity, offering automated backwashing and CIP (Clean-in-Place) functionality.
Performance Results & Project Impact
Since its successful commissioning in December 2019, the 400m³/h ultra-pure water plant has delivered exceptional performance metrics:
| Performance Metric | Before Treatment (Raw Water) | After System Treatment (Pure Water) |
| Electrical Conductivity | $> 1,200 μS/㎝ | ≤ 0.1 μS/㎝ |
| Water Resistivity | $< 0.001 ΜΩ·㎝ | ≥ 10-15 ΜΩ·㎝ |
| Silt Density Index (SDI) | $> 5.0$ | < 1.5 |
| Silica ($SiO_2$) Content | $> 15 ㎎/L | < 10ppb |
| System Reliability | N/A | 99.8% Operational Uptime |
Client Value Delivered:
