The Reverse Osmosis water Plant was installed in the Santhiram Engineering College that caters to the drinking water needs of all the Students, Teachers, supporting Staff and the Visitors. The raw water with an average Total Dissolved Solids [TDS] of 750-1000 ppm is treated to reduce the TDS content to less than 100 ppm the generally acceptable upper limit of the TDS.
This is done in Three stages, namely: Pre-treatment, passage of the water through 6 RO membrane filters held in parallel to each other {main process] and Post treatment. The maximum capacity of the plant is 1500 litres per hour [at the rate of 250 lit per membrane].The utilized capacity is 1000 lit/hr potable water. This water is Pure, Tasty and Hygienic rendering it highly suitable for human consumption.

The rejected water from the plant is used for gardening and washing purposes. This RO plant not only facilitates the supply of safe drinking water but also obviates the unsafe water.
6 coolers are connected to this plant providing drinking water in every floor of class room blocks, administrative block, library and laboratories blocks etc
