AMPAC USA prides itself on creating unique products for all the customers, be it household, commercial or industrial reverse osmosis seekers. Though all the products we create offer perfect water purity by trapping the contaminants, all the products have their own features. Here we are comparing two of our most loved products, AP10K-LX and SW100K-LX-C. Have a look and decide which one would serve you better.
Introduction
The AP10K-LX is an industrial reverse osmosis system that produces 10,000 GPD of water. It meets the requirements of commercial pure water consumers who have access to unclean, brackish or well sources of water.
In contrast, SW100K-LX-C is a fully automated reverse osmosis and seawater desalination system that can produce 100, 000 GPD of water. It is most suitable for communities and industries with bulk water needs and a natural source of this precious resource nearby.
Usage and Application
AP10K-LX is suitable for use by commercial establishments like coffee shops, restaurants, microbrewers, convenience stores, car wash facilities, food preparation operations, misting and humidification systems among others.
SW100K-LX-C is suitable for serving the huge water needs of industries like oil, energy, hospitality (resorts and giant hotels) among others. It is also suitable for communities where bulk water needs need to be met, and there is lack of pure water.
Treatment Options
AP10K-LX purifies water by using reverse osmosis technology while SW100K-LX-C makes use of both reverse osmosis and seawater desalination processes.
Built
AP10K-LX’s frames are built by using stainless steel pressure vessels and fastening hardware. It ensures strength and corrosion prevention which is a must in a commercial or industrial establishment. SW100K-LX-C has two 40′ containers, one of which is a high cube that includes desalination plant while the second has win Alternating 250KW Diesel Generators which can be used to power the plant.
Remote Access
SW100K-LX-C has a Siemens PLC controller with a web server and MODBUS communication which ensures remote monitoring and operation because this product is often used at remote locations where hiring an operator is not possible. AP10K-LX has no remote monitoring or operations available because it is usually installed near an establishment or industry.
Filters
SW100K-LX-C has a Multimedia Carbon Pre-Filter that gets rid of bacteria & chlorine while adjusting the pH of the water. It also has a Spin Down Pre-Filter for large particle removal & corrosion resistance and Sediment Pre-Filter for getting rid of sand, dirt, and sediment. AP10K-LX has multimedia KDF-Catalytic Carbon-Poly Phosphate Pre-Filter and Two 4” x 20” Big Blue Sediment Pre-Filter with 05 Micron in Parallel.
Pumps
AP10K-LX has a smart on-demand pump that increased feed water pressure 1HP while SW100K-LX-C has two pumps that supply the unit with seawater that was stored in settling tanks with needed pressure and flow. One of these is set on variable frequency drive, and the second is set on a pressure sensor.
Post Filtration
SW100K-LX-C has ceramic post filters that remove particles while keeping the mineral and oxygen content unchanged. AP10K-LX has a 4” x 10” Big Blue Carbon Post-Filter with 05 Micron.
UV Sterilization
Both these products recognize the value of ultraviolet sterilization as it eliminates microorganisms and disinfects water.
Conclusion
In essence, it can be seen that both these products have their own value. Though SW100K-LX-C has way more features and add-ons than AP10K-LX, the latter holds its own due to its own rich features. We suggest that anyone seeking any of these two products should not compare them but compare his or her needs with the features and select a product that meets their needs.
