20T/H 1 Series Brackish Water Desalination System for a Semiconductor Plant in China
Semiconductor manufacturing requires stable process water to support cleaning, rinsing, utility systems, and precision production environments. In regions where raw water contains higher salinity, dissolved solids, and hardness, untreated feed water may increase scaling risk, affect cleaning efficiency, and reduce the operating stability of downstream equipment.
To solve these challenges, a semiconductor plant in China selected Zhongnuo Water Treatment to provide a 20T/H 1 Series Brackish Water Desalination System. The customized solution was designed to reduce salinity, improve feed water stability, and provide reliable industrial purified water for plant operation, helping the customer maintain stable production and lower long-term maintenance costs.
The customer needed a stable desalination and purification solution that could handle higher-salinity raw water while supporting continuous semiconductor plant operation.
1. High-Salinity Feed Water
The raw water contained elevated dissolved salts, hardness, suspended solids, and other impurities. Without proper treatment, these contaminants could lead to scaling, reduced equipment efficiency, and unstable water quality.
2. Stable 20 m3/h Water Supply
The plant required a reliable 20 m3/h treated water supply to support utility systems and water-consuming production processes. Continuous and stable output was essential for daily plant operation.
3. Protection of Downstream Equipment
Semiconductor-related facilities are sensitive to water quality fluctuations. The system needed to reduce salinity and impurities effectively to protect downstream pipelines, storage systems, and process equipment.
4. Automation and Low Maintenance
The customer expected a system with automatic PLC control, real-time monitoring, automatic membrane flushing, and fault alarms to reduce manual intervention and improve reliability.

The 20T/H 1 Series Brackish Water Desalination System is designed for industrial users dealing with high-salinity groundwater or brackish raw water. The system combines pretreatment, RO membrane desalination, and automatic control to deliver stable treated water quality for continuous industrial use.
The complete process is designed to remove suspended solids, hardness, chlorine, and dissolved salts step by step while protecting the RO membranes and improving long-term stability.
· Multi-media filtration removes suspended solids and turbidity.
· Activated carbon filtration reduces chlorine, odor, color, and organic matter.
· Water softening lowers hardness and helps prevent membrane scaling.
· Precision cartridge filtration protects the high-pressure pump and RO membranes.
· Brackish water RO membranes reduce dissolved salts and improve treated water stability.
The treated water is suitable for semiconductor plant utility support, cleaning applications, pretreatment supply, and general industrial process use. Stable output quality helps reduce water-related operating risks and improve system reliability.
The system is equipped with a PLC control cabinet and touchscreen interface, allowing operators to monitor pressure, flow rate, conductivity, pump status, tank level, alarm signals, and automatic flushing in real time.
The 1 Series brackish water system adopts a skid-mounted modular design with stainless steel piping, corrosion-resistant valves, pressure vessels, and reliable electrical components. The structure is suitable for industrial sites requiring practical installation and easy maintenance.
