A few variables of RO technology

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.
