Industrial RO (Reverse Osmosis) system is a high-capacity water purification system that removes dissolved salts, minerals, heavy metals, organic contaminants, and microorganisms from raw water using a semipermeable membrane and high-pressure pumps.
It’s designed to treat thousands to hundreds of thousands of liters per day (LPD) or gallons per day (GPD), depending on the system size.
How It Works (Basic Process)
Pre-treatment:
Removes sediment, chlorine, iron, and organics.
Includes multi-media filters, carbon filters, antiscalant dosing, and cartridge filtration.
High-Pressure Pump:
Increases water pressure (typically 150–400 psi) to push water through RO membranes.
RO Membrane Separation:
Membranes allow water molecules to pass but block up to 99% of dissolved solids (TDS).
Post-treatment(optional):
pH adjustment, UV sterilization, remineralization, or EDI (Electrodeionization) depending on final water quality needs.
