Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a system that operates by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane under pressure. As the water passes through the membrane, minerals and particles remain on the other side. The feed water entering the system is divided into two streams: purified water that passes through the membrane, and wastewater that carries away ions, organic substances, and unwanted particles retained by the membrane.
In an RO system, the substances separated from the water during purification do not accumulate on a filter surface as they do in conventional filtration systems; instead, they are continuously flushed away by flowing water. Therefore, frequent membrane replacement is not required. The amount of purified water produced is approximately half of the incoming feed water.
