Key Points of RO Plant
Water treatment processes use many types of membranes; microfiltration, ultra filtration, reverse osmosis, and nanofiltration membranes. MF membranes have the largest pore size. UF membranes have smaller pores than MF membranes and RO membranes exclude particles and even many low molar mass species such as salt ions etc. These membranes are generally classified as isotropic or anisotropic. Isotropic membranes are uniform in composition and anisotropic membranes are non-uniform over the membrane cross-section. There are two types of anisotropic membranes i.e. Phase separation membranes and other is thin film composite membranes. MF, UF, RO, and NF all these membranes are synthetic organic polymers. Here, we will discuss about Reverse Osmosis. It is a ground breaking membrane based technology to purify water by separating the dissolved solids from wastewater. This technology has an outstanding vision which is targeted towards environmental pollution control problems. It uses a semi-pe...
