Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes

‌Working Principle of Reverse Osmosis Membranes




Reverse osmosis (RO) technology is an advanced water desalination method. It works by applying pressure to create a concentration gradient across the membrane, allowing water molecules to pass through while retaining dissolved salts and impurities. This process separates, concentrates, and purifies water. Based on the principle of adsorption and diffusion, RO technology is widely used in various industries for water treatment.




Key Features:



Low Energy Consumption, High Efficiency: The separation process involves no phase change, making energy conversion efficient and energy consumption low.



Broad Range of Impurity Removal: RO membranes can remove ions, organic matter, microorganisms, colloids, heavy metals, and other contaminants from water.

Operates at Room Temperature: The process can be conducted at ambient temperatures, making it ideal for treating temperature-sensitive substances.

High Desalination and Water Recovery Rates: RO membranes achieve a desalination rate of 95% to 99%, with high water recovery efficiency, capable of retaining solutes larger than a few nanometers.

Easy Operation, Safe and Hygienic: Using low pressure as the driving force, RO systems are simple to design, easy to maintain, and ensure a safe and hygienic operation suitable for diverse applications.




Applications:





Food Processing Industry: Used for water purification, juice concentration, and beverage filtration.

Plant and Herbal Extraction: Separates and purifies plant extracts and concentrates medicinal ingredients.


Seafood Processing: Purifies and processes extracts from seafood.

Biopharmaceuticals and Fermentation: Concentrates pharmaceutical and fermentation liquids and removes impurities.

Pure and Ultrapure Water Production: Used in laboratories, the semiconductor industry, and the pharmaceutical sector where high-quality water is essential.

Seawater and Brackish Water Desalination: Removes salts from seawater and brackish water to produce drinking or industrial water.

Water for Power Plants: Desalination and purification of boiler feed water to extend equipment lifespan.

Wastewater Treatment: Purifies and recycles industrial wastewater, reducing pollutant discharge.
