Project experience / Optical-lens cleaning

Optical-Cleaning RO Water Reference

An optical-lens factory used municipal water for production and needed to address mineral and particle residues on lens surfaces. The treatment system connects pretreatment and reverse osmosis to treated-water storage for the cleaning operation.

Application context

Use this project experience to prepare your requirements.

For a similar application, start with your water analysis, required output and quality at the point of use. These inputs determine the equipment scope, storage, controls and acceptance criteria for your proposal.

Feed-water source

Municipal tap water

Capacity basis

Rinse flow and operating schedule

Water challenge

Conditions that control the process.

Calcium, magnesium and particles leaving residues that can affect lens cleanliness and optical quality.

Target water use and quality

Set the objective at the point of use.

Purified cleaning water intended to limit ionic and particle residues on optical lenses.
