Reverse Osmosis Systems

Reverse Osmosis Systems utilize membrane separation technology to produce quality water for industrial processes and drinking water. Contaminant rejections depend on the type of contaminant and the type of reverse osmosis membrane being used. Membrane rejections of 70 to 99.99% can be achieved but never quite 100%. It has been demonstrated that bacteria and virus reductions of 99.7 to 99.9% are possible, but a perfect 100% bacteria rejection could not be achieved. A reverse osmosis system consists of pretreatment, the reverse osmosis unit, and in some cases post treatment, depending on the end use of the RO water. Activated carbon post treatment filtration is used for drinking water applications. Pretreatment is essential to the performance of the Reverse Osmosis System. Reverse osmosis membranes can not tolerate iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, hardness or turbidity. These contaminants must be removed up stream of the RO unit. A softener or chemical treatment is always recommended as pretreatment to the RO system. Ecodyne Industrial offers a complete line of Reverse Osmosis Systems from 2,200 gallons per day to 288,000 gallons per day.
