Commercial Reverse Osmosis Process
Commercial reverse osmosis is a scaled-up version of the traditional RO. It is intended to provide potable water for beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and industrial processes. Through high-pressure pumps and semi-permeable membranes, contaminated water is stripped of dissolved impurities.
The reverse osmosis principle is the opposite of the osmotic process. In osmosis, the molecules of a liquid or solvent pass from a solution of low to high concentration via a semi-permeable membrane. In reverse osmosis, the opposite happens, meaning the pressure is given to that side of the membrane where there is a high concentration of contaminants. Thus, pure water travels from the contaminated to the treated side of the membrane.
Each commercial osmosis system, whether it's a water purification system, packaged reverse osmosis, brackish water reverse osmosis, or commercial water filtration system, is customized based on the quality of water desired and the kinds of raw water issues you have.
Commercial reverse osmosis solutions can have as few as two stages and as many as eight stages. Choosing how many stages you need largely depends on the quality of water that needs to be purified. Usually, 5 stages are enough for a RO system, but you can go higher if you want more purity depending on the use you need to put the purified water too.
What Does a Reverse Osmosis System Consist of?
Though the working of a reverse osmosis system might seem simpler from the above example, it’s a bit more complicated than it seems. A industrial, commercial or residential reverse osmosis system usually has many components. Some of them are explained briefly here:
Pre-treatment
This stage includes the use of carbon filters to ensure the removal of harmful elements like iron, chlorine, manganese, water softeners, sulfur filters, and antiscalant systems.
Reverse osmosis
In this stage, water is passed through a semi-permeable membrane by applying pressure to ensure that the contaminants are trapped and removed. The result is clean and 100% contamination-free water that is tasteless, colorless, and odorless.
Post-treatment
This stage usually includes using ultraviolent disinfection, abbreviated as UV or ozonation, to ensure pH level adjustment, add some hardness to the water, and kill bacteria. It also includes deionization to demineralize the water.
Often, the customers demand to monitor the end of water quality. To accommodate that request, various analyzers can be used.
Storage and distribution
RO systems need a lot of time to purify water up to the desired standards. So, they need tanks to store water. There are usually two types of tanks: atmospheric tanks, which can be anywhere from 75 gallons to 2,000 gallons, and bladder types, which are 14 to 80 gallons. The water quality is higher in atmospheric tanks as compared to bladder type tanks. Atmospheric tanks are usually bigger and have to bladder to supply back pressure. Hence, a booster pump is often needed to re-pressure the water and distribute it at a good pace.
How to Select the Right Commercial RO System?
Selecting the appropriate commercial reverse osmosis system is crucial for businesses that depend on high-quality water for their operations. A well-chosen system ensures efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. This guide outlines the key factors to consider when choosing a commercial RO system.
Determine water demand and quality
Calculate your daily water usage to ensure the system can meet your needs. Consider peak usage times and future expansion plans. When selecting a system with the appropriate capacity to prevent shortages and ensure consistent performance. Also, determine water quality by knowing things like the hardness of water, tds, chlorine, iron, manganese level, silica, and turbidity.
Evaluate system types
Commercial RO systems come in various configurations. Choose one that is in line with your operational needs and space constraints.
- Standard systems: suitable for general water purification needs.
- High-pressure systems: designed for applications requiring high-pressure water, such as certain industrial processes.
- Large capacity systems: ideal for establishments with high water demand, like hotels or hospitals.
- Customized systems: tailored to meet specific requirements of a business.
Consider energy efficiency
Energy consumption impacts operational costs. The recommended energy consumption for current commercial RO treatment facilities typically ranges from 20 to 45 kwh/(pe- a) (per person equivalent per year). Opt for systems that prioritize energy efficiency with energy recovery devices and high-efficiency pumps to minimize expenses.
Assess maintenance needs
Regular maintenance ensures longevity and optimal performance. Select systems with accessible components and clear maintenance protocols. Additionally, consider the availability of technical support and warranty services from the manufacturer. Ensure regulatory compliance
Ensure that the ro system adheres to local, state, and federal regulations concerning water treatment and waste disposal. Compliance is not only ethically right but also guards against legal complications and possible penalties.
Budget considerations
While it's essential to invest in a quality system, align your choice with your budget without compromising on critical features. Perform a cost-benefit analysis considering not just the initial investment but also operational and maintenance costs to ensure a judicious expenditure.
Space and installation constraints
Evaluate the available space for system installation. Some systems are designed for compact spaces, while others require more room. Ensure the chosen system fits within your spatial constraints and consider future scalability.
Environmental impact
Consider systems that minimize water waste and support sustainability initiatives. Some RO systems are designed to be more water-efficient, reducing the environmental footprint of your operations.
Key Specifications of Our Commercial Reverse Osmosis Systems
Reverse Osmosis commercial applications
Different types of commercial reverse osmosis systems have varying applications.
Food and beverage
commercial reverse osmosis systems, along with other processes like distillation, are typically used for bottled water. Highly advanced commercial water filters extract fresh water for fruit juices and beverages and for the beer brewing process. It is also used for vegetable processing, milk production, and preparation of different kinds of food production. A two-stage reverse osmosis process creates pure water after rectifying the ph value and then uses a high-pressure pump to obtain pure water in these commercial processes.
Pharmaceuticals
Commercial reverse ro systems remove around 99% of contaminants from water. They remove ions and minerals from water through deionization. So, water remains free of contaminants that can disturb reactions and measurements. Deionized water is extremely beneficial for researchers as they can perform various experiments without any threat of inaccurate results that arise from ions in water.
Agriculture
Reverse osmosis systems are for cultivation houses for the plants in greenhouses or aquaculture growing. The solutions remove iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, sediments, and sulfur odors. They have immense importance in applications like irrigation, agriculture, hydroponics, greenhouses, and livestock drinking water.
Power Generation
Industrial boilers should not have lime-scale or any other build-up because of their high sensitivity to them. Commercial water filters treat and soften water to eliminate issues like scaling and thermal transfer deficiencies. This safeguards the boilers from premature damage and prevents money from expensive repairs. The quality and efficiency of the boiler stay intact.
Manufacturing
Salt-free water is essential for rinsing applications in manufacturing processes. A reverse RO system effectively removes contaminants like herbicides, nitrates, sugars, antibiotics, and more, which softens water. When hard water reacts with soaps, it leaves residues that demand intense cleaning. Reverse osmosis removes microscopic impurities and treats water effectively.
