How Does the RO System Work: The Ultimate Guide
Prior to forcing water through a semipermeable membrane to remove dissolved solids, a reverse osmosis system filters out sediment and chlorine with a prefilter. Before it reaches a special tap, drinking water is polished by a postfilter after it leaves the RO membrane. Depending on how many pre filters and post filters are used, reverse osmosis systems have different stages. RO (Reverse Osmosis) system works by using a semipermeable membrane to remove impurities and contaminants from water. The following are the steps involved in the RO process:
Pre-Treatment:
Water enters the RO Treatment system and passes through pretreatment filters that remove larger particles, such as sediment, from the water.
High-Pressure Pump:
A high-pressure pump forces the water through the semipermeable membrane at high pressure.
Semipermeable Membrane:
The semipermeable membrane acts as a barrier, allowing only water molecules to pass through while blocking impurities, such as minerals, salts, and other contaminants.
Permeate:
The purified water that passes through the membrane is called permeate and is collected in a storage tank for later use.
Concentrate:
The impurities that are blocked by the membrane are called the concentrate and are discharged from the system as wastewater.
Post-Treatment:
The permeate water is then sent through post-treatment filters to remove any remaining impurities and improve the water’s taste and quality.
Overall, the RO process provides a highly effective way to purify water, removing up to 99% of contaminants from the water source. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to provide safe and reliable sources of drinking water, manufacturing processes, and other applications.
Where is an RO system used?
RO (Reverse Osmosis) systems are used in a variety of applications where high-quality, purified water is required. Here are some common places where RO systems are used:
Residential homes:
