Laminar Water - Model RO -Reverse Osmosis System

RO membranes are highly effective at removal of the most challenging constituents including the smallest monovalent ions like sodium and chloride. In drinking water treatment they are commonly used for removal of nitrate, heavy metals and trace amounts of synthetic organic compounds. RO is also one of the technologies available for removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Other monovalent ions, such as Fluoride can be readily removed by RO.

RO systems operate continuously, utilizing spiral-wound membranes housed within pressure vessels. A high-pressure pump propels feed water into these vessels, overcoming the natural osmotic pressure. This produces two distinct streams: permeate, which is the purified water, and concentrate, which contains the removed solutes. The percentage of water captured as purified water is known as Volumetric Recovery, which typically ranges from 65% to 85% for drinking water applications. Maintaining adequate cross-flow velocity on the feed side of the membrane is a key factor in proper operation, as the turbulence helps prevent fouling.

The RO membrane is sensitive. Proper pre-treatment is essential to protect it from being blocked or damaged and ensure it performs reliably for its expected lifespan.
