Most types of industrial plants and facilities use high volumes of water in their processes. Unfortunately, the water from the municipal mains or water from other sources is often heavily laden with a variety of potential contaminants to the specific process. These can include impurities, chemicals, and even solid particles in the water.
These processes also produce wastewater, which has even higher levels of potential chemicals, contaminants, solid particles, and impurities. Finding ways to remove the problematic elements in both system application water and wastewater is increasingly important, which is where a reverse osmosis system becomes an asset.
One of the most effective and efficient ways to remove contaminants to any type of water is the process of reverse osmosis. A reverse osmosis system can be customized to the specific type of water treatment required. It can be designed to handle industrial water volumes up to one million gallons per day per unit.
Use of Pressure
Unlike a standard osmosis system, a reverse osmosis system uses a pump to create pressure on the outside of the system, forcing the water through the semi-permeable membranes in a consistent flow. The solids are held on the outside of the membrane and the clean water flows through for the application or into the wastewater disposal system.
The water containing the solids becomes concentrated and can be easily managed in drain systems that are designed to handle this type of waste. This makes disposal of wastewater more efficient while providing an industrial facility with pure water that is free from contaminants that can potentially cause process, system, or equipment failure over time.
At Agape Water Solutions, Inc., we specialize in custom reverse osmosis system configurations for industrial applications.
