What is Reverse osmosis?

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification method that separates ions, undesirable compounds, and bigger particles from drinking water using a partly permeable membrane.

An applied pressure is utilized in reverse osmosis to counteract osmotic pressure, a colligative phenomenon generated by chemical potential differences in the solvent, a thermodynamic parameter. Reverse osmosis can remove a wide range of dissolved and suspended chemical species, as well as biological species (most notably bacteria) from water, and is utilized in both industrial operations and potable water production. As a consequence, the solute is trapped on the pressured side of the membrane while the pure solvent is permitted to flow through.

This membrane must not allow big molecules or ions to pass through the pores (holes) in order to be "selective," but it must enable smaller components of the solution (such as solvent molecules, such as water, H₂O) to flow freely.

How to increase GPD of your Commercial RO Plants?

If your Reverse Osmosis System has a standard-sized membrane, you can raise the GPD to improve the daily production capacity and speed of RO water production. This will ensure that water is accessible during peak hours of the day. In most reverse osmosis systems, upgrading the reverse osmosis membrane is simple.

General Instructions for GPD up gradation

(1) Examine your system to see if it's a manifold. A manifold system is one in which the connections between the various components are made in the plastic head rather than utilizing tubing. The original membrane size must be used in manifold systems.

(2) Check to see if you've got a regular membrane. If the membrane inside the membrane housing is approximately (1.75" W X 11.75" L), you know its standard.

(3) You'll need a new standard RO membrane housing if your membrane isn't the normal size.

(4) For your regular housing, select the RO membrane GPD.

(5) To maintain the right balance between wastewater and clean water, the RO membrane GPD and flow restrictor must be matched. If they aren't compatible, this can result in a lot of waste going down the drain or premature membrane fouling. Under sizing the flow restrictor in order to run the system at greater recoveries results in early RO membrane scaling, shorter membrane life, and/or higher-TDS product water.Refer to the chart above to find the appropriate flow restrictor.

(6) Disconnect the old and connect the new flow restrictors. When using a reverse osmosis system, never utilize two flow restrictors at once. This will change the pressure on the membrane, lowering its performance.
