Reverse Osmosis Systems: The Ultimate Solution for Industrial Water Purification

Introduction

Reverse osmosis is a new and modern technology for purifying water. Reverse osmosis elements are used to improve the purity of water and remove impurities and salts from water. The pure water we drink in our daily life is treated with reverse osmosis for crystal clear water.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane separation technology driven by pressure through the action of a selective (semi-permeable) membrane. When the pressure applied in the system is greater than the osmotic pressure of the feed solution, water continuously passes through the membrane and flows through the water production channel into the center tube, then out one end water impurities such as ions and organics. Bacteria, viruses, etc. are trapped at the inlet side of the membrane and then flow out at the outlet end of the concentrated water for separation and purification.

How Reverse Osmosis Works: Science Meets Practical Application

Reverse osmosis operates on a simple yet powerful principle: 

semi-permeable membranes filter out 95-99% of dissolved solids by applying pressure 

1.Crossflow filtration that continuously sweeps away contaminants

2.TFC (thin-film composite) membranes with 0.0001 micron pores

3.Automatic flush systems to prevent membrane fouling

Unlike traditional filtration that merely traps particles, RO removes:

1. Heavy metals (lead, arsenic)

2. Microplastics

3. Fluorides

4. Viruses/bacteria

5.Total dissolved solids (TDS)

Reverse osmosis equipment summary of frequently asked questions

1. reverse osmosis equipment in the sealing ring why the expansion phenomenon? Water treatment equipment in reverse osmosis equipment in order to realize the membrane shell in the interval seal isolation, the membrane shell needs three types of sealing rubber ring. In order to reduce the installation resistance system installation should be in each sealing ring surface coated with water or glycerin. It should be noted that the lubricant should be carefully used petroleum jelly or other petroleum-based grease lubricants, which will cause cracking of the fresh water pipe and, in particular, swelling of the sealing rings. The expansion of the rubber ring generally does not directly affect the operating effect of the system, but will affect the system after unloading and reloading, that is, when loading the expansion of the rubber ring is difficult to enter the slot.

2. reverse osmosis equipment process of the original water yield consistent? Reverse osmosis equipment due to the membrane element of the feed water end and the concentrated water end of the pressure difference between the membrane pressure drop, but also because each element of the concentrated water salt content are higher than the feed water salt content, so each element of the feed water osmotic pressure along the system process is rising. If you ignore the freshwater back pressure and osmotic pressure, along the system process of each membrane element water production will be proportional to the respective working pressure and osmotic pressure difference, that is, the water production of each membrane element gradually decreased.

3. pH on the reverse osmosis membrane removal rate and life will have an impact? Reverse osmosis equipment as water treatment equipment in the main filtration process, then in the raw water into the reverse osmosis membrane, the pH value of the raw water on the reverse osmosis membrane will not bring harm, in general the reverse osmosis membrane only have the material for the composite membrane material, this membrane material in the use of the product according to the stipulation of the pH value of the scope of the general 2-11, then the pH value of the membrane itself to bring the harm and the impact is smaller. Small. As for the influence of pH on the desalination rate of reverse osmosis membrane, it is affected by the pH value of the characteristics of many kinds of ions in the water itself, which is due to the acidity and alkalinity of the ions themselves, decomposition, and the degree of charge to decide, these are the factors that will lead to a reduction in the desalination rate of the membrane. This shows that pH still has a great influence on the desalination rate of certain impurities. Similarly, if the CO2 removal rate of the reverse osmosis membrane is zero, increase the pH value of the raw water, so that CO2 is converted to CO32-, so that the reverse osmosis membrane can be effectively desalted. But this time to pay special attention to the reverse osmosis membrane scaling problems.
