Reverse Osmosis and Water Purification

From water reuse to desalination, reverse osmosis plays a key role in supplying fresh water where it’s needed.

Consumers may already know reverse osmosis (RO) from popular under-sink home water treatment systems, but RO is used in many applications and at many scales. Reverse osmosis can purify unusable water to the point where it’s virtually free of health risks and esthetic issues.
