Reverse Osmosis (R/O) Systems are a precise membrane filtration technology used to obtain lower conductivity or pure water from high conductivity water. Reverse Osmosis (R/O) Systems can similarly be used to obtain non-potable water from treated wastewater.
In principle, Reverse Osmosis Systems are used to obtain good quality potable or non-potable water by passing high salinity water from a semi-permeable membrane under high pressure to remove by around 92-99% the dissolved minerals, salt complexes, solid matters and organic pollution in the water.
As per the operating principle of Reverse Osmosis (R/O) membranes, some of the water is treated to obtain product water (permeate) while the remaining part is removed from the system by discharging through the waste (concentrate) line.
A Reverse Osmosis (R/O) System can be chosen specifically for the relevant project based on the quality of the raw water to be supplied to the system, desired quality of treated water and production flow. As the Reverse Osmosis System (R/O) is a precise filtration membrane technology, it is essential that the water supplied to the system is passed through a good Pre-Treatment System. Depending on the need, suitable systems such as the self-cleaning filter, sand filter, carbon filter, softener, ultrafiltration, chemical dosing, etc. can be used within the scope of the Pre-Treatment System.
