Reverse Osmosis RO Systems
What is Reverse
Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis is a membrane separation process in which feed water flows along
the membrane surface under pressure. Purified water permeates the membrane and
is collected, while the concentrated water, containing dissolved and undissolved
material that does not flow through the membrane, is discharged to the drain.
The key requirements of Reverse Osmosis process are a
membrane and water under a pressure. Other requirements include prefiltration to
remove suspended impurities and carbon to remove chlorine (damages the
membrane).
Most membranes remove 90-99+ % of the dissolved
impurities depending on the impurity and the composition of water.
Reverse osmosis systems remove salts, microorganisms
and many high molecular weight organics. System capacity depends on the water
temperature, total dissolved solids in feed water, operating pressure and the
overall recovery of the system.

Reverse Osmosis RO Systems Remove up
to 99% of Total Dissolved Solids
Reverse osmosis is a membrane
separation process in which feed water flows along the membrane surface
under pressure. Purified water permeates the membrane and is collected,
while the concentrated water, containing dissolved and undissolved
material that does not flow through the membrane, is discharged to the
drain.
Reverse osmosis systems remove salts, microorganisms and many high
molecular weight organics. System capacity depends on the water temperature, total
dissolved solids in feed water, operating pressure and the overall recovery of the system.

Advantages of
Reverse Osmosis Over Conventional
Processes Compared
with other conventional water treatment processes, reverse osmosis has proven to be the
most efficient means of removing salts, chemical contaminants and heavy metals, such as
lead, from drinking water. For waters with total dissolved solids of 200 or more, reverse
osmosis is less expensive than ion exchange. Even at total dissolved solids of less than
200, it is preferred over ion exchange for removal of silica and organics. Compared with
distillation, reverse osmosis use only a fraction of the total energy and does not have
high temperature problems or scaling and corrosion. |
| Today reverse osmosis
systems have proven to be the most economical and efficient means of
improving the quality of water.

Simple to
Operate and Maintain
Our reverse osmosis systems come
assembled, factory tested and in ready-to-operate
condition. They are designed for efficiency and are simple
to operate and maintain. Besides regular monitoring and
periodic membrane cleaning, membranes need to be changed every
one to three years depending on water quality, size of the
system and pretreatment. Pumps also require routine
maintenance.
