Reverse Osmosis

The process of reverse osmosis removes dissolved salts as well as organics. The process can be explained as the raw water I flown through the membrane by applying pressure, in the process a small percentage of the feed water permeates the membrane, the balance portion of the water moves alongside the membrane without being filtered and moves along side the membrane without being filtered and moves out of the systen. The stream which permeates through the membrane is the permeate, the second stream of water is called the concentrate beacause it carries the concentrated salts and other contaminants which are not able to permeate through or rejected through the membrane. Since the two streams of liquid flow side by side to each other this process is also called cross flow filtration process. This process of water filtration ensures that the output water have 99.9% or pyrogens, viruses and bacteria rejection.
