Reverse osmosis (RO) is a separation process that uses pressure to force a solvent through a membrane that retains the solute on one side and allows the pure solvent to pass to the other side. More formally, it is the process of forcing a solvent from a high dissolve solids concentration through a membrane to a low dissolve solids concentration by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure. This is the reverse of the normal osmosis process, which is the natural movement of solvent from an area of low solute concentration, through a membrane, to an area of high solute concentration when no external pressure is applied. The membrane here is semi permeable, meaning it allows the passage of solvent but not of solute.

A Reverse Osmosis (or RO) system produces near-deionised quality water on a continuous basis, without the need for hazardous chemicals.Reverse Osmosis removes between 95–98% of the TDS which dramatically reduces boiler blowdown, saving energy and running costs. RO also reduces the bicarbonate alkalinity, which is a major cause of condensate corrosion.

The high purity RO water is ideal for pharmaceutical production, micro-electronics or any application where mineral-free water is needed for process washing or as a component in product formulations.

AQUAPro supplies a range of packaged and bespoke reverse osmosis systems along with RO antiscalants and membrane cleaning chemicals.
