The process of Reverse Osmosis (RO) uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove minerals and dissolved solids from water.
The product water transfers through the membrane while dissolved solids, particulates, and organic matters are flushed to drain as a concentrate or wastewater.
Not only does the process remove organic molecules and viruses, it also removes most minerals present in the water as well as monovalent ions, resulting in a desalination of water.
As a result, once water passes through a reverse osmosis filter, it is essentially pure water. Typically, a single pass reverse osmosis system typically removes 97% of the total dissolved solids and 95% of naturally occurring organics, with water recovery usually ranging from 65 to 80%.
Reverse osmosis can be used in a variety of industries. In the food and beverage industry, reverse osmosis improves the appearance, taste, and preservation of beverages. In pharmaceuticals, reverse osmosis is used for the production of water for pharmaceutical applications. Learn more about how reverse osmosis can be used!
