Reverse Osmosis (RO) is an advanced water purification process used in RO plants to remove impurities, contaminants, and dissolved salts from water. The process works by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane under high pressure. This membrane allows water molecules to pass through while blocking larger particles such as salts, bacteria, and other impurities.
In an RO plant, the process begins with pre-treatment, where sediment filters remove large particles, and carbon filters eliminate chlorine and organic contaminants. Next, the water is pressurized using a high-pressure pump and passed through the RO membrane. The purified water, known as permeate, flows out, while the rejected contaminants, called brine, are discarded.
RO plants are commonly used in industries, homes, and municipalities to produce clean drinking water, treat wastewater, and desalinate seawater. This energy-efficient and effective process ensures water meets quality standards for various applications.
