Reverse Osmosis: Water Purification at its Best

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the most efficient and effective method of water purification known to man. It removes impurities as small as 0.0001 micron size (a human hair is 50-70 microns thick!) cleansing water of all biological impurities, suspended particles, dissolved solids (TDS), salts, Flourides, metals and chemicals. Most non-RO systems can filter particles only upto 5-10 microns in size, leaving behind almost all dissolved impurities (like bad-tasteing salts) and some fine physical impurities.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is membrane separation process in which feed water flows along the membrane surface under pressure. Purified water permeates the membrane and is collected, while the concentrated water, containing dissolved and undissolved impurities that do not flow through the membrane, is discharged to the drain.

System Capacity depends on the water temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS) in feed water, operating pressure and the overall recovery of the system.

Advantages of RO over conventional Processes

Compared with other conventional water treatment processes, reverse osmosis has proven to be the most efficient means for removing salts, chemical contaminants and heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic from drinking water.

For waters with TDS of 200 or more, reverse osmosis is preferred over ion exchjange for removal of silica and organics. Compared with distillation reverse osmosis uses only a fraction of the total energy and does not have high temperature problems of scaling and corrosion.

Today reverse osmosis systems have proven to be the most economical and efficient means of improving the quality of water.
