High-efficiency reverse osmosis systems designed for desalination, purification, and sustainable water reuse.
A reverse osmosis (RO) plant is a water treatment system where the process of reverse osmosis is used to purify or desalinate contaminated water by forcing it through a semipermeable membrane.
Water produced by reverse osmosis is widely used for desalination, wastewater treatment, concentration of contaminants, and reclamation of dissolved minerals. Modern RO plants typically require around six kilowatt-hours of electricity to desalinate one cubic metre of water.
The process also generates a saline brine waste. The key challenge for RO plants is to reduce energy consumption, adopt sustainable energy sources, and improve desalination efficiency and waste management. Self-contained RO units are also widely used in military and remote applications.
