Reverse Osmosis

water treatment process

Reverse Osmosis

in water treatment process,  RO ( Reverse Osmosis)  is one among Technic to produce pure water from certain quality source water.  Reverse Osmosis  is a modern process technology to purify water for a wide range of applications, including semiconductors, food processing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, power generation, seawater desalting, and municipal drinking water.

Historical development of reverse Osmosis

Research on Reverse Osmosis began in the 1950’s at the University of Florida where Reid and Breton were able to demonstrate desalination properties of cellulose acetate membrane. Loeb and Sourirajan continued the development of the RO technology with the creation of the first asymmetric cellulose acetate membrane.
