Reverse Osmosis System

20 LPH Reverse Osmosis System –Technology is also a remarkable new technology that removes difficult toxic waste and pollutants from industrial waste streams.Osmosis is a natural equilibrium processTwo liquids are separated by a special proprietary membrane that allows only water to passWater passes from one chamber to the next by diffusion until the solids concentration on both sides of the membrane are equalForward Osmosis Membranes reject organics, minerals and other solids similar to reverse osmosis (RO) but resist typical fouling problemsIt is the process of two liquids seeking equilibrium that creates the “power” in Forward Osmosis. In the example above, the permeate side of the membrane contains a salt “draw” solution which has a higher osmotic potential than the dirty feed water on the other side of HTI’s proprietary membrane. That higher osmotic potential in the salt “draw” solution is the power source nature provides to drive the filtration process. The water moves through the membrane, is filtered in the process and dilutes the higher concentration salt water on the permeate side.

Forward Osmosis Technological Advantages:

• FO overcomes fouling limitations inherent in pressure driven membrane separations allowing proper filtration and concentration of difficult products and waste streams.
• FO can process feed streams; a source of dirty or polluted water containing high levels of suspended solids.
• In separations driven by hydraulic pressure (such as RO) all components of a feed stream are unselectively forced against the membrane surface.
• In FO, osmotic pressure, which is hydraulic pressure created by Osmosis as water passes through a semi-permeable membrane into a more concentrated stream, selectively draws molecules through the membrane avoiding membrane fouling and compaction.
• FO is a process normally occurring in nature that, when harnessed for water filtration and liquid transfer, requires little or no electricity or external power source.

Forward Osmosis technology can be applied to various industries including:

• Oil & Gas Exploration
• Algae Biofuels
• Landfills
• Chlor-Alkali
• Food Processing
• Methane Digesters
• Nuclear Wastewater
• Membrane Bio Reactor
