CASE STUDY
Integrated Well Water Filtration and RO System for Puerto Rico-Based Packaging Plant
Plastic packaging manufacturer expanding on-site water treatment capabilities
Plastic Packaging / Food & Beverage Supply Chain
Mechanical design and installation of a 100 GPM ultrafiltration (UF) and RO system; Fabrication and installation of stainless-steel tanks, pump skids, and filtration towers; Class I Div 1-rated control panels, instrumentation, and automation programming; Full electrical integration, P&ID development, and operator training; Start-up, commissioning, and water quality verification
Overview
TM Process & Controls, Inc. (TMPC) designed and installed a complete well water treatment solution at a packaging facility in Puerto Rico. The system integrates ultrafiltration, media and carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO), and ozone disinfection—built to deliver up to 100 GPM of clean, process-ready water. The solution included custom-engineered stainless steel process equipment, dual pump skids, chemical dosing systems, and automated valve control, all tied into the plant’s existing process automation environment.
Problem
The customer required a reliable, automated well water treatment system to ensure clean water supply for downstream processes. The new system had to work within existing facility constraints, tie into multiple tanks and utilities, and support future expansions, while ensuring compliance with stringent quality and safety requirements.
Solution
TMPC engineered a multi-stage filtration system with ultrafiltration, media, and carbon towers, as well as reverse osmosis and ozone disinfection. All process equipment—including stainless steel tanks, skid-mounted pumps, and control panels—was designed to meet sanitary and durability standards. TMPC integrated the system into the plant’s automation platform, delivered complete engineering documentation, and supported startup, passivation, and operator training.
Results
- Delivered a 100 GPM well water filtration and RO system meeting water quality requirements
- Improved reliability of plant water supply while enabling future process scale-up
- Automated integration reduced manual intervention and improved system visibility
- Supported seamless commissioning and plant operations with on-site training and testing
