Precision Water Purification with Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis is a highly effective water treatment process that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, and contaminants to produce high-quality water. Essential for councils, industrial manufacturers, and healthcare facilities, RO systems enhance water safety, protect equipment, and improve operational efficiency. Using a semi-permeable membrane, reverse osmosis ensures clean, reliable water while reducing reliance on chemical treatment.Â
Our Reverse Osmosis Solutions
Ultra-Pure Water for Healthcare and Labs
Hospitals, dialysis units, and research laboratories require ultra-pure water to meet stringent health and safety standards. FILTEC’s reverse osmosis solutions provide consistent, high-quality water for medical and scientific applications, ensuring compliance and patient safety.Â
How Reverse Osmosis Works
Reverse osmosis works by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane, which blocks dissolved salts, heavy metals, and other impurities while allowing purified water to pass through. The process effectively removes up to 99% of contaminants, making it ideal for drinking water, industrial use, and laboratories. RO systems operate under high pressure, ensuring efficient filtration and consistent water quality.Â
FAQs
What is the difference between reverse osmosis and other membrane filtration methods?
Reverse osmosis removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, and contaminants at a molecular level. Other methods like ultrafiltration focus on suspended solids and bacteria but don’t eliminate dissolved substances. RO offers superior purification for ultra-clean water applications.
How does reverse osmosis compare to other demineralisation methods?
Reverse osmosis removes dissolved minerals without ion exchange resins or chemical regeneration, unlike traditional demineralisation systems. RO is often more energy-efficient and cost-effective than deionisation for large-scale applications.
How often do reverse osmosis membranes need maintenance?
RO membranes require periodic cleaning and replacement based on water quality and usage. Their lifespan ranges from 5 to 10 years. FILTEC offers servicing, membrane replacements, and performance monitoring to ensure efficiency.
Can reverse osmosis be used for wastewater treatment?
Yes, reverse osmosis is used in wastewater treatment to remove dissolved contaminants, allowing water reuse or safe discharge. FILTEC offers tailored RO systems for various wastewater treatment applications.
Does reverse osmosis remove beneficial minerals from water?
Yes, RO removes both harmful contaminants and beneficial minerals. If needed, post-treatment remineralisation can restore essential minerals for taste and health benefits.Â
