    BIRMINGHAM — In the article, “Selling reverse osmosis to ‘green’ customers,” featured in a previous issue of Water Technology, we discuss how more consumers are turning to effective, sustainable solutions when it comes to reverse osmosis (RO).

    In the article, we offer a few variables that can impact RO technology:

    • The quantity of permeate water produced
    • The quality of the water being treated
    • Pressure applied to water/flow rate
    • Water temperature
    • Recovery
    • Certain contaminants, such as specific pesticides, toluene, cyanide, chloroform and calcium
    • Total dissolved solids (TDS)
    • Hardness, typically above 12 gpg
    • Chlorine
    • High silica levels.
