Water Treatment Systems

There are various means of treating water for public and industrial use. Among those are Reverse Osmosis (R/O), Ultraviolet (UV) exposure and others. Securing the proper water treatment system for your needs, ensures the resulting water is clean, pure and ready for immediate use in your applications.

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis (R/O) is often the preferred method of choice for the desalination of brines and sea water. The R/O process involves passing water at pressure past and partially through a specially designed membrane that removes salt and other contaminants. With its current economics, R/O operations are rather expensive for normal seawater desalination applications. However, the same technology may be applied more economically to the removal of lesser impurities from water from other sources. Even standard sources of tap water may contain contaminants (including lead, arsenic, mercury, diluted pesticides and others) that must be removed. Water from rivers and lakes may contain these impurities, bacteria and other foreign matter that must be removed before the water is safe to drink. Membranes similar to those used in R/O desalination are utilized at somewhat relaxed operating conditions to offer economical operations for potable water and specialized water treatment uses. R/O units range from small 5 gallons per day (~800 cc/hour) portable units to larg
