Introduction to the Veolia PROflex LT4 Reverse Osmosis System
In the world of industrial and commercial water treatment, reliability and efficiency are paramount. For businesses seeking a solution that bridges the gap between light industrial needs and robust purification standards, the Veolia PROflex LT4 Series Reverse Osmosis (RO) Machine stands out as a top-tier contender. Formerly known as the trusted E-Series (specifically the E4 and E4H models), the PROflex LT4 has evolved to offer even greater flexibility and performance.
At Purecowater, we understand that selecting the right filtration equipment is critical for your operations. As a distributor and OEM partner for Veolia, we are proud to offer the LT4 series—a system designed to deliver high-purity water with a cost-effective, configurable design.
What Does the Veolia LT4 RO System Do?
The Veolia LT4 is a reverse osmosis unit designed to remove high levels of dissolved solids (TDS), bacteria, and impurities from water sources. It utilizes 4-inch membrane elements housed in durable pressure vessels to separate feed water into two streams:
- Permeate: The purified product water that passes through the semi-permeable membranes.
- Concentrate (Reject): The waste stream containing the concentrated salts and impurities, which is sent to the drain or recycled.
By forcing water through these membranes under pressure, the LT4 ensures that the water downstream meets the stringent quality requirements for boilers, manufacturing processes, and specialized washing applications.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
The PROflex LT4 is engineered for “light industrial” applications but is built with the robustness of heavy-duty systems. Here are the standout features that make it a preferred choice in the market:
1. Configurable Design (PROflex)
Unlike rigid, one-size-fits-all systems, the “flexible” nature of the PROflex line allows for customization. Depending on your specific water chemistry and volume needs, the system can be configured with varying array arrangements (e.g., 2:1, 2:1:1) to optimize recovery rates, typically achieving between 50% to 75% recovery.
2. Powered by Tonkaflo Pumps
At the heart of the LT4 system is the industry-renowned Tonkaflo multi-stage centrifugal pump. These stainless steel pumps are legendary for their durability and quiet operation. They provide the necessary high pressure (up to 300 psi) required to drive water through the membrane elements efficiently, ensuring consistent flow rates and longevity.
3. Advanced Control Systems
Modern water treatment demands precise monitoring. The LT4 series typically comes equipped with advanced controllers, such as the Horner X4 PLC or the AccuTrak RO controller. These interfaces allow operators to monitor critical parameters like:
- Inlet and permeate conductivity (water quality).
- System operating pressures.
- Temperature.
- Tank levels and automatic start/stop functions.
4. Ease of Maintenance
The LT4 utilizes standard 4-inch diameter membrane housings, making membrane replacement straightforward. Additionally, the system includes a pre-filter housing (usually utilizing 5-micron cartridges) to protect the membranes from suspended solids. The design facilitates easy access for Clean-In-Place (CIP) procedures, ensuring your system runs at peak efficiency for years.
Who is the Veolia LT4 For?
The Veolia LT4 is versatile, making it the ideal solution for a wide range of industries that require flow rates generally falling between 6 to 20+ gallons per minute (GPM), depending on the specific model setup (e.g., LT4-6). Common applications include:
- Commercial & Industrial Boilers: Providing high-quality feedwater to prevent scale buildup and corrosion, thereby extending boiler life.
- Humidification Systems: Ensuring mineral-free water to prevent dusting and clogging in HVAC systems.
- Car Washes: Producing “spot-free” rinse water for a perfect finish.
- Food & Beverage: Supporting ingredient water filtration needs where high purity is required.
- Light Manufacturing: Rinse water for parts and electronics.
