Membrane systems that separate almost all dissolved substances, producing pure desalinated water.
This process takes its name from the natural phenomenon of osmosis, which allows water to pass from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a porous septum or a semi-permeable membrane, stopping at a position of equilibrium, called osmotic pressure.
By applying to the more concentrated solution a pressure higher than osmotic pressure, the phenomenon of reverse osmosis is obtained. These membranes allow water to pass through, separating almost all the substances dissolved in it, up to a maximum of 99.6%, thus obtaining pure desalinated water called “permeate”, and a solution rich in salts and bacteria, called “concentrate”.
Water passes through the membrane while dissolved substances are held back.
Almost all dissolved substances are separated, producing pure desalinated water.
The process yields purified permeate and a concentrate rich in salts and bacteria.
