2026-08-27

On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at 2,200 m above sea level, the challenges facing a laboratory pure-water system are far stricter than in plain areas. Low winter temperatures, high feed-water hardness and low air pressure—these plateau-specific environmental variables often make conventional pure-water equipment “ill-adapted,” with shortened membrane life and fluctuating output resistivity becoming the norm. For the provincial key laboratory of Qinghai University, which has long focused on plateau ecology and salt-lake resource development, a ultrapure-water system that can “withstand the plateau and stabilize the water quality” is not a luxury but a research necessity.

The AiKe Discover-ZN-III series ultrapure water machine deployed three years ago was designed precisely to solve this problem. Optimized for Xining's local high-hardness tap water, it carries a “two-stage RO + EDI + special metal-adsorption column” combined process, pushing iron, zinc and other metal-ion removal rates to 99.99% and keeping TOC stably within 3ppb. Through three plateau-duty winters and summers, the system has consistently maintained stable 18.25MΩ·cm output quality, silently supporting the precise progress of Qinghai University's characteristic research projects with continuous and reliable pure-water supply.

I. Rooted in Plateau Research Scenarios: Discover-ZN-III Series Builds a Solid Pure-Water Foundation for Qinghai University's Key Laboratory

Qinghai University, as a key university under construction in Qinghai Province, has multiple provincial key higher-education laboratories on campus that have long carried out scientific research on plateau ecology, characteristic agriculture and animal husbandry, and salt-lake resource development. During experiments, extremely high requirements are placed on water-quality stability and metal-ion removal rate. Affected by the locally hard incoming water in Xining, traditional water-making equipment is prone to rapid membrane-element loss and large fluctuations in outlet water quality, making it difficult to continuously meet the Grade-1 water standard of GB/T 6682-2008.

The Discover-ZN-III series ultrapure water machine deployed this time is optimized for plateau high-hardness incoming-water scenarios, equipped with the mature process of 'dual-stage RO + EDI + special metal-adsorption column', and can stably produce both RO pure water and UP ultrapure water at the same time. The resistivity of the ultrapure water stably reaches 18.25 MΩ·cm, with a removal rate of 99.99% for metal ions such as iron and zinc, and TOC value controlled within 3 ppb. The equipment adapts to the management and operation requirements of Qinghai University's key laboratories, greatly reducing maintenance frequency and providing reliable pure-water assurance for the accuracy of detection data in plateau-characteristic research projects.

II. AiKe Discover‑ZN‑III Series Ultrapure Water Machine Stably Serves Qinghai University Laboratories

AiKe Discover‑ZN‑III series ultrapure water machine has been running stably in Qinghai University laboratories for 3 years, continuously delivering RO pure water + UP ultrapure water, providing quality experimental-water support for various research and teaching experiments of the university.

Qinghai University is located in Xining City, Qinghai Province; the plateau environment places higher demands on the adaptability and operational stability of laboratory water-supply equipment. During the early equipment-selection stage, the university comprehensively considered outlet water quality, environmental adaptability, and later maintenance cost, and finally selected the AiKe Discover‑ZN‑III series ultrapure water machine.

The equipment supports a dual-output mode in one machine, capable of simultaneously producing RO pure water and UP ultrapure water—meeting both the pure-water needs for cleaning experimental utensils and preparing basic reagents, and supplying the ultrapure water required for high-precision analysis and molecular experiments. The outlet water quality complies with the GB/T 6682 laboratory-water specification and adapts to multi-scenario water use in university laboratories.

After three years of continuous use under plateau working conditions, the equipment is in good overall operating condition, with stable water-quality indicators and a low failure rate. At the early delivery, the AiKe technical team completed on-site installation, commissioning, and hands-on maintenance training, laying the foundation for long-term stable operation of the equipment. This project fully demonstrates the good adaptability of AiKe ultrapure-water equipment to the plateau environment and highlights the practical value of domestically produced laboratory water-treatment equipment in the research field of western universities.
