What is an RO filtration system?

2023-11-28

A form of water filtration system called a RO (Reverse Osmosis) filtration system uses a semi-permeable membrane to filter out contaminants. High pressure is applied by the system to push water through the membrane, trapping impurities and leaving behind clean, filtered water.


There are five primary steps in the reverse osmosis process:


Pre-filtration: To get rid of bigger particles and contaminants, water is passed through pre-filters.


The next step is pressurization, which creates reverse osmosis pressure and pushes the water up against the semi-permeable membrane.


Separation: Bacteria, viruses, dissolved solids, and chemicals are blocked from passing through the semi-permeable membrane, which only permits water molecules to do so.


Discharge: A waste drain receives the contaminants that the membrane has caught.


Post-filtration: After the water has been filtered, any leftover contaminants are removed by a post-filter, which enhances the water's flavor and purity.


RO filtering systems are commonly employed in residential, commercial, and industrial environments where the production of beverages, pharmaceuticals, and electronics necessitates the use of high-quality water. They can also be used in households to offer pure drinking water, lower the amount of dissolved solids in the tap water, and get rid of contaminants that could give the water an unpleasant flavor or smell.


All things considered, by eliminating pollutants and raising the water's quality, a RO filtration system offers a practical and efficient means of purifying water from a range of sources and preparing it for a range of uses.
