REVERSE OSMOSIS
WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a very effective water treatment process that removes impurities utilising a semi-permeable membrane.
RO is a simple, safe and cost-effective process to remove up to 99.8% of all waterborne contaminants from a water stream including bacteria, pyrogens, dissolved solids and organics.
Our industrial RO water treatment systems are designed in partnership with Ecosoft, a leading international water filtration systems provider.

RO is a simple, safe and cost-effective process to remove up to 90% of all waterborne contaminants from a water stream including bacteria, pyrogens, dissolves solids and organics.

How does an RO system work?
Osmosis is the natural process by which a fluid such as water passes across or through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high to lower concentration. With RO water treatment, the natural process is reversed so that the water flows in the opposite direction which results in highly purified water.
With an RO system, a pump generates enough pressure to force the feed water through the membrane against its natural flow, which ensures that the water molecules pass to a purified water tank where the contaminants are blocked and discharged as a separate reject water for disposal elsewhere or for recycling back into the RO system for treatment again.
Applications
RO water treatment systems are used effectively in a wide variety of industries and commercial applications such as:
HORECA

Other specific applications include renal dialysis, wastewater recovery and process water treatment.
RO as a process technology can also be incorporated with ultra filtration and continuous electro-deionisation where applicable.
Benefits of RO Water Treatment Systems
When compared to other traditional water purification processes, RO is an established and proven technology that:
- Has a compact footprint
- Has lower operating cost and a more enhanced energy efficiency due to ambient temperatures
- Has a significant safety benefit as no hazardous chemicals are required in the process - no transport - no storage of chemicals
- Ensures continuous operation that requires no downtime for regeneration
- Can be used to treat all types of feedwater
- Can be integrated with other water treatment technologies and retrofitted to existing systems
- Maintains downstream equipment from fouling, scaling and damage
- Ensures significant reduction in contaminants and total dissolved solids (TDS)

Optional Extras
We offer optional extras to complement and enhancing the functionality and performance of our industrial RO systems.
CIP Station
CIP Station
Clean-in-place technique allows cleaning and sanitizing RO membranes without having to move the system.
Over time in operation RO membranes might decline in performance due to the accumulation of deposits on the surface. Mineral scale, colloidal particles, organic compounds are the common causes of membrane fouling.
When RO system capacity drops by at least 10 percent membrane cleaning should be performed using CIP systems. Our factory assembled, tested and field-ready cleaning skids offer a convenient and economical way to maximize RO investment.
