Reverse Osmosis (RO)
Advanced Membrane Technology for High-Purity Water Production
What is Reverse Osmosis (RO)?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is an advanced membrane separation technology that removes dissolved salts, minerals and other impurities from water by applying pressure through semi-permeable membranes. It is one of the most reliable and efficient water purification processes for producing high-quality water from both brackish water and seawater.
Aquahelix Reverse Osmosis Systems are engineered to meet project-specific requirements, delivering reliable performance, energy-efficient operation and long-term durability across municipal, industrial and commercial water treatment applications.
Why Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis provides exceptional water purification performance while minimizing chemical consumption and operating costs. It is widely used where high-quality process water or potable water is required, especially in regions with limited freshwater resources.
How it Works
Step 1
Feed water first passes through the pre-treatment stage, where suspended solids, particles, and other contaminants are reduced to protect the RO membranes.
Step 2
After pre-treatment, the water is pressurized using a high-pressure pump to ensure it can pass effectively through the RO membrane system
Step 3
Under high pressure, water passes through the RO membrane, while dissolved salts, minerals, and other impurities are separated and retained in the concentrate stream.
Step 4
The purified water passes through the membrane as permeate and is collected for use, while the concentrated impurities are discharged as reject water.
