Reverse osmosis how does it function?
The best Reverse Osmosis is a very simple process which removes chemicals from water and makes water fresh and tasty.
To drink water, you need to remove harmful chemicals from water and removes inorganic solids as well as suspended solid, apply high pressure to flow a large amount of water through semi-membrane. The permeate is applied for useful post treatment. In figure one, the scheme of the diagram is shown. To pass high water pressure is applied and this dissolves the mixed chemicals.
And the pressure removes particles from water. To pass high water pressure is applied and this dissolves the mixed chemicals. And the pressure removes particles from water. For brackish water, the range of pressure is 17 to 27 bar, sea water, the pressure is from 52 to 69 bar.
For desalination, the RO system comes with two types. One is spiral wound, and the other is hollow fiber. This depends on the quality of permeate and the use of the permeate. PH is measured by the post-treatment of adjusting.
Why Rrvers Osmosis (RO)- RO will remove some small elements from your drinking water. If you use other procedure such as boiling as well as ultraviolet light, may destroy bacteria but have no power to remove small particles of non-living things like metals plus chemical.
- In tap water, some biological contaminants are present. This may cause some diseases like Giardia and Cryptosporidium, which are very harmful to our intestines. If it happens to you, you may fall victim to fatigue, excessive gas, diarrhea, bloating and no desire to take food and weight loss. If you diagnose the Cryptosporidiosis, you will find that you are already attacked by the gastrointestinal system.
- The filter of the reverse osmosis has the membrane which lasts for a long time. If you use other filters, then you need to replace every 2 to 4 weeks.
- RO water is eco-friendly as they have no possibilities of making any harmful chemicals.
- Reverse Osmosis system has the power to remove mixed minerals moreover other contaminants may make water unpleasant smell and look strange.
- This purification system is the best one for home management system as their size is small.
- RO water filters are very ideal for the people who are suffering from the disease like heart problem, as this removes most of the salt and bacteria up to 99% as well as pyrogenic elements from water
- Reverse osmosis can remove harmful metals which are harmful to the health, such as lead, selenium and animal waste as well as chemicals
- In summer, the hot of the sun remains very much, so we perspire more- you can do simple work. We then can drink water which is filtered and quickly we can make our body by drinking pollution-free water

Thanks Nikolay for clearing my idea on ROF.

Hi Alisha: You are most welcome! Please check out the "Documents" folder - it has a fair amount of information on what desalination can do and how much it costs. Nikolay

In terms of being able to produce drinking water from any source - saline (ocean water) and contaminated or wastewater water - desalination by reverse osmosis is the most effective and cost efficent technology availalbe at present. It removes all pathogens and toxins from the source water and can process saline water from any water body on the planet. In terms of costs and energy - desalination is certianly costlier than water produciton from fresh sources (rivers, lakes, etc.) - water costs could be up to 5 times higher than these from a simple water well and energy could be up to 10 times higher.
