Reverse Osmosis

B & V Water Treatment can supply, install and maintain reverse osmosis plant and equipment. We also have a full range of reverse osmosis antiscalants and membrane cleaning chemicals available.

Removal of dissolved solids from water by reverse osmosis can produce water of similar purity to that produced by ion exchange technology, but with the advantage of not requiring the hazardous chemicals that are required to regenerate an ion exchange deioniser.

Some typical applications that benefit from this process are high pressure steam boiler feeds, high pressure hot water boilers, rinse water for printed circuit boards, rinse water for electronics manufacture, laboratory water, haemodialysis, anodising, rinse water for electroplating, rinsing of metals prior to painting, thinning of water based lubricants, paint manufacture, pharmaceuticals, battery manufacture, process water for chemicals and glass window manufacture.

In order to select the correct model for a particular application, several related factors need to be taken into consideration. The most important of these are as follows:

• Daily usage of treated water
• Quality of water required
• Quantity of water at peak flow rates
• Whether a continuous supply of water is required
• Chemical composition of the raw water to be treated
• Whether the raw water requires pre-treatment by softening and carbon filtration
• Whether a raw water tank is required
• Whether a treated water tank is necessary
• Method of distribution of the treated water to the point of use

We have the experience to advise our customers on the correct type of Reverse osmosis plant and equipment to serve their specific needs. We can also provide technical back-up and advise when selecting the correct reverse osmosis antiscalant to use and the correct method and cleaning chemicals to use when cleaning reverse osmosis membranes.
