7. Working Principle

PROC20 (High Performance) realizes high-precision water purification and energy saving based on the reverse osmosis principle, combined with advanced membrane material technology and optimized structural design. Osmosis is a natural phenomenon in which water molecules spontaneously flow from a low concentration solution to a high concentration solution. Reverse osmosis applies a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure (0.8-1.8MPa) on the high concentration side (raw water side), forcing water molecules to pass through the semi-permeable membrane (pore size only 0.1 nanometers) to the low concentration side (produced water side), while retaining salts, heavy metals, colloids and other harmful substances. The high-purity aromatic polyamide composite membrane of PROC20 has a dense and uniform surface structure, which ensures high desalination rate and purification efficiency; the 34mil wide inlet water mesh reduces flow resistance and concentration polarization, slows down fouling; the end plate exhaust structure avoids membrane damage caused by air pressure during system startup; the optimized surface structure control technology makes pollutants only accumulate on the surface of the separation layer, which is easy to clean and recover, ensuring stable operation and energy saving effect of the membrane element.
