about
Ultimate Rack is a breakthrough technology for Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination
designed to simplify the construction and operation of RO plants
by substituting the conventional RO racks and pressure vessels
Ultimate Rack is a self supporting monobloc structure built in concrete
and used for housing Reverse Osmosis modules
Ultimate Rack is patented in the USA, Europe, Israel and Australia
Desalination is one of the preferred alternative sources of drinking water
Front plate holding the hydraulic manifolds
Central section housing the RO modules
our technology
uRack structures consist of 3 main blocks: the central section in which the RO modules are fitted, and 2 front plates on each side
The front plates are mounted on rails so that the operation to open or close them is fast and easy: only 15-20 min is needed to open or
close the equivalent of tens of pressure vessels
The main advantage of such a design is the easy and fast access to the membranes that reduces the downtime of the plant during maintenance procedures
modularity
The central section of uRack structures is built in several
elements, all stacked on top of each other
from 2m to more than 9m height
The length of the central section is adapted to the RO process requirement and the number of RO modules in series
from 5 to 8 modules
The width of the central section depends on the number
of tubes in parallel - usually between 5 and 6 tubes
from 2m to 2.5m
-
To adapt to the production capacity of the desalination plants
several uRack structures can be put in parallel
All elements can be built on site or pre-casted and shipped
To facilitate the handling, all elements are below 40T
Because the weight is distributed over a large area, the ground pressure is equivalent to a 100 kg person on tiptoe
