Ampac USA builds industrial Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems that deliver a lot of pure water, reliably, for tough jobs. Think manufacturing, energy, food & beverage, electronics, pharmaceuticals, marine, and city support. We build these systems on strong skids using continuous-duty parts, smart PLC/HMI controls, and optimized membrane arrays. They slash TDS, hardness, silica, organics, microbes, and tons of other dissolved stuff. Our systems consistently hit EPA drinking water quality standards and tight conductivity/TDS goals, all while lowering your total ownership costs.
Industrial Reverse Osmosis Systems – Overview
Industrial places need water that’s predictable, compliant, and won’t break the bank. Ampac USA systems are made for:
- Big flow rates (from thousands to hundreds of thousands of gallons per day) with steady water quality.
- High recovery, thanks to antiscalant dosing and staged membranes, which means less wastewater.
- Tough operations with solid pre-treatment, careful flux rates, and 24/7 monitoring.
- Fast fixes because of modular, skid-mounted designs and standard spare parts.
You’ll see less scale and corrosion, better process yields, shorter rinse cycles, lower energy use in boilers and chillers, and real, measurable savings on your operating expenses.

Industrial RO System Platforms
Our custom-built and standard skids offer:
- Flow: We can set it up for your production needs (like 6,000-100,000+ GPD per system).
- Frames: They’re powder-coated aluminum or stainless steel, with forklift pockets and lift points.
- High-efficiency pumps: End-suction or multistage, ready for VFDs so they start smoothly and save energy.
- Membranes: 8″ spiral-wound TFC elements, arranged in stages to control fouling and hit your recovery targets.
- Instrumentation: We monitor inlet/outlet pressure, flow, conductivity/TDS, temperature, and can add TOC.
- Controls: Industrial PLC/HMI with data logging, alarm settings, remote I/O, and auto-flush routines.
- Safety: Low-pressure cutout, high-pressure relief, leak detection, pump interlocks, and NEMA-rated enclosures.
High Purity Water Systems
For places like electronics, pharmaceutical, biotech, and lab environments that need super low conductivity and great microbial control, Ampac USA puts these together:
- Pre-treatment (multimedia, carbon, softening/antiscalant, 1-5 micron filtration).
- Primary RO, sized for careful flux rates.
- EDI (Electrodeionization) or MB polishers to reach targets from sub-5 to sub-1 microsiemens per centimeter.
- Sanitary piping, UV/UF for controlling microbes and endotoxins.

Water Treatment Chemicals
The right chemicals make your membranes last longer and improve recovery:
- Antiscalants/antifoulants, chosen specifically for your water’s Langelier/Stiff & Davis indices and ionic loads.
- pH adjustment (acid/caustic) for best solubility and silica management.
- Disinfectants and biocides, dosed carefully and neutralized.
Water Quality Monitoring & Control
- Online TDS/conductivity with automatic diversion if water quality isn’t right.
- Permeate/reject flow balance and trend tracking.
- Differential pressure across pre-filters and membranes to spot fouling early.
- Event/alarm logs with data you can export for audits.
- Remote access for diagnostics and optimization help.
Brackish Water Treatment Systems
We reduce TDS, hardness, iron/manganese, nitrate, and silica to meet your process or ingredient water needs. We size RO based on:
- Feed analysis (a full ionic profile, silica, SDI, turbidity)
- Your target water quality (microsiemens per centimeter or ppm TDS)
- Recovery (usually 60-85% for brackish water)
- Temperature compensation and fouling risk
Water Reuse & Discharge Reduction
For rinse waters, cooling tower blowdown, or lightly contaminated streams, we use:
- Pre-clarification/UF then RO then polish (if needed).
- We return the permeate to your utilities; we minimize reject water with staged recovery or blending.
- This helps you meet water stewardship goals and permit compliance.
Ultrapure Pre-Treatment
RO is key for EDI/DI when you need sub-microsiemens per centimeter water. We focus on:
- Bacteria/endotoxin control with UV/UF.
- Sanitary design and hot water sanitization when needed.
- TOC monitoring for pharmaceutical and lab settings.
Desalination & High-Salinity Feeds
For challenging or salty wells and coastal projects:
- Dual-pass RO or RO + energy recovery modules.
- Antiscalant + pH programs to keep silica and sulfate scales under control.
- Careful material selection for chloride stress corrosion resistance.
