Reverse Osmosis System
Reverse Osmosis (RO) operates by applying high pressure to the feed water and the reverse osmosis membrane, causing water to flow from one side of the membrane (the feed side) to the other (the permeate side). Most other components in the feed water, such as dissolved salts, particles, bacteria, and pyrogens, remain on the feed side of the membrane and are ultimately discharged as waste. Working Principle of the Reverse Osmosis MembraneRaw water enters the reverse osmosis membrane through the feed spacer. Under pressure, water passes through multiple membrane layers for filtration. The water that successfully permeates through the membrane is collected via the permeate spacer and directed into the central tube, resulting in RO water. The concentrate, which contains the retained impurities, is discharged along the concentrate path. Key Performance Indicators of Reverse Osmosis MembranesThe core performance indicators of a reverse osmosis system include salt rejection rate, permeate flow
