Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment
Water purification using a semi-permeable membrane to remove water impurities.
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a technology that is used to separate and remove a large majority of water impurities using a semi-permeable membrane. It can eradicate up to 99%+ of the dissolved solids, particles, colloids, organics, bacteria and pyrogens from the feed water (although it cannot be relied upon to remove 100% of the bacteria or viruses).
How does Reverse Osmosis work?
As the feed water enters the semi-permeable membrane under pressure, the water molecules pass through, while the contaminants are held back and discharged through a reject stream. This is sometimes fed back into the feed water supply to be recycled, helping to save water.
Veolia's reverse osmosis water systems are regularly used for generating pure water for decontamination, renal dialysis, water recovery, utility feed water and process water production.
