OxiMax Community Clear Drinking Water System (RO and UF)
Since almost all drinking water sources – groundwater, lake, river, pond, reservoir water – are open to contamination, treating water is important to remove impurities, disease-causing pathogens, and other organic and non-organic contaminants. Most all public and municipal drinking water systems make use of different water treatment solutions for providing safe drinking water to the masses. These systems include various stages; Coagulation & Flocculation, Sedimentation, Filtration and/or Disinfection.
At HES Water Engineers India, we offer complete turnkey solutions when it comes to drinking water systems. Our OxiMax Community Clear Drinking Water System is available in RO and UF technology, which uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove total dissolved solids (TDS), organics, micro-colloidal matter, viruses and bacteria from water. These advanced drinking water systems are highly-effective and are designed for both industrial and domestic use.
OxiMax UF/RO Water Treatment Plant
The ergonomically designed OxiMax UF/RO Water Treatment Plant is a simple plug and play water systems that offer maximum convenience and consistent water quality. Its pressure-driven membrane can remove high-levels of pathogen while retaining minerals. This innovative system is also suitable for all geographic locations, as it removes both organic or inorganic contaminants, irrespective of the quality of the incoming water.
Some of the special features of OxiMax UF/RO Water Treatment Plant are:
- It is easy to install and operate.
- It offers a multi-stage filtration process – macro, micro & UF/RO – which provides clean and safe drinking water.
- It is user-friendly and requires minimal maintenance.
- It is a compact system that occupies very less space, which helps you save money on real estate.
- It comes with a water ATM facility that offers a remote access data system.
- It can be automated as per the customer’s requirement and comes with a water chiller (optional).

Which Technology Should You Choose – Ultrafiltration or Reverse Osmosis?
1. What is Ultrafiltration?
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a pressure-driven purification process that separates particulate matter from soluble components. This technology uses a membrane barrier to exclude particles as small as 0.01 microns, including bacteria, viruses and colloids. However, while it does filter out bacteria, viruses, and parasites, it retains essential minerals in the water. Ultrafiltration water systems help you to seamlessly meet the increasingly stringent water quality standards around the world. It is also a stable and reliable water purification system that provides consistent water quality.
Advantages of Ultrafiltration
- Ultrafiltration systems have compact plant size and small footprints.
- It not only kills germs but also cleans the eggs of various bacterium and virus by physically removing and flushing them out.
- It is easy to maintain. Plus, since no chemicals are required for the purification process (aside from cleaning), it doesn’t come with associated sludge disposal cost.
- Unlike RO systems, it does not generate any wastewater, which makes it more environment-friendly.
- It helps remove large quantities of suspended particles (except for dissolved impurities & chemicals), purifying even the dirtiest and muddiest of water, making it safe for human consumption.
- Regardless of the feed quality, Ultrafiltration systems provide consistent water quality.
Being one of the most efficient methods of water softening, the RO water system also uses membrane technology to pass raw water through a membrane, which helps remove impurities. It is the opposite of the natural osmosis function, in which a substance moves across a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
In an RO system, the process separates water from dissolved ions and compounds to form a clean stream (permeate) and a waste stream (reject). RO process can reject up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and pyrogens and up to 99% of dissolved ions and organic compounds.
Advantages of Reverse Osmosis (RO)
- RO water systems help eliminate 95 to 99% of TDS (total dissolved solids), salt, dissolved minerals, nitrates, pesticides, metals, and microorganisms from the water.
- It produces high-quality water that also tastes better.
- It uses minimal chemicals for water purification and produces less hazardous wastewater, making it environment-friendly.
- It has a low installation cost and being an advanced RO water system, it consumes less electricity, which helps save money on the operating costs.
- It requires minimal operator interaction and has a low maintenance cost.
