Reverse Osmosis membranes

Removal of impurities from water

Part description

What are RO filters (Reverse Osmosis Filters)?

RO filters, also called reverse osmosis filters, are membrane technologies that purify water by removing contaminants and impurities. This technique, also known as hyperfiltration, reduces salts and minerals, leaving the water in a pure form.

How do Reverse Osmosis Filters work?

During reverse osmosis, water is pushed through the membrane in the reverse direction. This leaves contaminants such as salts, metals, and other impurities behind in the membrane, while the pure water molecules can pass through the filter.

Applications of Reverse Osmosis Filters:

• Pharmaceutical sector: To obtain pure water, membranes are used to prevent water from becoming contaminated with salts, metals, and other ions during production processes.
• Food sector: RO filters provide consistent, high-quality water, which is essential for the taste, odor, and appearance of products in this sector.
• Electronics industry: Pure water is necessary in the production of semiconductors and other electronic components, for which reverse osmosis is used.
• Drinking water sector: RO filters are used in the production of bottled water and for municipal water purification, to make water suitable for consumption.
• Cleaning sector: Reverse osmosis is used for desalination of seawater and for the reuse of wastewater, for example in irrigation and industrial processes.

Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Filters

RO filters offer several benefits:

• High removal capacity: They remove a wide range of contaminants, such as salts, minerals, chemicals, and pathogens.
• Improved water quality: They enhance the taste, odor, and clarity of water, making it suitable for various applications.
• Energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness: RO filters are energy efficient and help reduce operational costs.
• Easy maintenance: These filters are easy to maintain, leading to lower maintenance costs.
