Process
Reverse osmosis/sea water reverse osmosis is a very popular technology in water purification. It is commonly seen in countries where water is scarce or sea water is readily available. High purity water can be achieved by using a membrane to remove ions in the water. However, process efficiency is related to effective pre-treatment of the influent to ensure maximum membrane performance.
Problem
Solid contaminants in the cooling water cause many problems including:
• Fouling – results in clogging of membrane surface, reducing removal efficiency, through put volume and operation time.
• Increased maintenance cost for cleaning.
Products Suitable For This Application:
Feature-Tec Filter Product | Applied to | Description |
SAFT/SAS/sand filter | Raw water filtration | Automatic, self cleaning filter. Removes coarse, solid particles to extend the operation time of downstream filters. |
Cartridge filter (Jumbo/FSH) | RO pre-filter (MF, UF) | Depth filters like cartridge filters remove residual particles to protect the RO membranes from clogging. High dirt holding capacity or high flow rate types available. |
