    Reverse osmosis systems use semi-permeable membranes and pressure to filter water. Dissolved and particulate materials are removed from the water as it passes through the membrane, while purified water passes through. Reverse osmosis removes contaminants like salts, metals, bacteria, and other pollutants from water by forcing it through membrane pores smaller than 0.0006 microns. The process produces purified permeate water and a concentrated waste stream. Most home reverse osmosis systems operate at around 100 pounds of pressure per square inch and remove 50-75% of dissolved solids from the source water.

    REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS

    Reverse Osmosis is a process in which water is forced by pressure (min.100 psi) through a semi permeable membrane. The good water passes through the membrane while the dissolved and particulate material is sent down the drain. As you become more aware of the benefits of pure water, the demand for equipment, capable of treating your water supply, grows. Simultaneously, acceptance of reverse osmosis is increasing, for whole household commercial application. With the whole reverse osmosis water system, users obtaining water from a low quality well, can enjoy water with lower total dissolved solids, not just lower hardness. The reverse osmosis process uses membranes to remove dissolved solids, organics, pyrogen and bacteria from water. Reverse osmosis also removes Sodium Chloride, hardness fertilizers, insecticides, arsenic, heavy metals and many other contaminants. Most importantly, reverse osmosis reduces total dissolved solid content of the water. Reverse Osmosis include a high-pressure pump, the membrane and pressure vessel, and the concentrate adjustment valve. The membrane consists of tiny holes as small as 0.0006 microns. To give you some perspective, the smallest known bacteria are 0.02 microns. As the water is pushed through these small holes, pollutants in the water stay behind and are washed away by water escaping the pressure vessel. Over 200 million Indians need to restrict their intake of salt because of high blood pressure, yet almost every supply has sodium chloride in it. Nitrates and phosphates from fertilizers enter our water supplies as run-off during rainstorms and irrigation. Nitrates over 10 parts per million may cause intestinal and stomach cancer Reverse Osmosis removes most of the dissolved mineral salts, almost all of the particulate matter, and most of the dissolved organic compounds. Water pressure must be maintained at around 100 pounds per square inch to keep a driving force across the membrane to produce a high clarity, low mineral content water. Most Reverse Osmosis systems operate in the 25-50% conversion range. This means that at 50% conversion, 100 lit. of pure water and 50 lit of concentrate. The central part of the Reverse Osmosis system is the module, which is, pressurized container housing the semi-permeable membrane. Cellulose Triacetate (CTA) membranes are used for chlorinated supplies. Thin film composite long life membranes are used for non-chlorinated water supplies. Here the feed water will be separated into usable product called permeate and waste product called concentrate.
