Intellect Aqua supplies, installs and maintains reverse osmosis (RO) plants in Chennai for apartments, hospitals, hotels, schools, IT parks and factories. Our branch office in West CIT Nagar lets our team test your water, design the plant around your actual TDS and hardness, and support it after installation. Every plant we build is designed for the water you actually have — not a standard model picked from a catalogue.
Why Chennai Water Needs a Well-Designed RO Plant
Chennai depends on a mix of Metro water, borewells and tankers, and the quality of each changes from area to area and season to season. In many coastal and low-lying areas, borewell water carries high total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity and hardness. Tanker water quality is often unknown.
An undersized or poorly pre-treated RO plant in these conditions fouls quickly. Membranes scale up, output drops, reject water increases and running cost climbs. A properly designed plant protects the membranes with the right pre-treatment, recovers as much water as the feed allows and gives consistent output quality through the year.
RO Plants We Build in Chennai
Commercial RO Plants
For apartments, hotels, restaurants, hostels, schools and offices that need safe drinking water or soft water for kitchens and laundries. These plants are compact, skid-mounted and easy for building staff to operate.
Industrial RO Plants
For process water, boiler feed and cooling tower make-up in units around Ambattur, Guindy, Sriperumbudur, Oragadam and Gummidipoondi. Industrial plants are built for continuous duty, higher recovery and integration with softeners, DM plants or UF. See our industrial RO plants in Chennai.
RO for Hospitals and Laboratories
Hospitals need reliable, low-TDS water for kitchens, CSSD and general use, and some departments need further polishing. We design RO systems with standby capacity so supply never stops.
How Our RO Plant Works
- Raw water tank and feed pump
- Pressure sand filter to remove suspended solids
- Activated carbon filter to remove chlorine, odour and organics
- Softener or antiscalant dosing to protect membranes from scaling
- Micron cartridge filter as the final guard
- High-pressure pump and RO membranes that remove dissolved salts
- Treated water storage, with optional UV or remineralisation
For feed water with high turbidity or organic load, we add an ultrafiltration (UF) stage before RO. Where hardness is the main problem rather than TDS, a water softener plant may be the more economical solution — we will tell you which one you actually need.
RO Plant Price in Chennai
The price of an RO plant depends on output capacity, feed water TDS, the pre-treatment needed, membrane brand, skid material and level of automation.
| Capacity | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 500 LPH | Small apartment, hostel, restaurant |
| 1,000 LPH | Mid-size apartment, school, clinic |
| 2,000 LPH | Hotel, hospital, large apartment |
| 5,000 LPH+ | Industrial process water |
We start every quote with a water test so the price you receive is for a plant that will actually work on your water.
Common RO Plant Problems We Fix in Chennai
Many of our Chennai enquiries come from buildings that already have an RO plant that is not working well. The usual complaints are low output, rising TDS in treated water, frequent membrane changes and very high reject. In most cases the cause is weak pre-treatment, wrong membrane selection for high-TDS feed water, or no regular cleaning.
We inspect the existing plant, test the feed and product water, and check pressures and flow at each stage. Often the fix is a better softener or antiscalant dosing, a UF stage, or a cleaning schedule — not a new plant. If replacement is the better option, we explain why with numbers.
