Reverse osmosis membranes have the advantages of being compact, simple to install, easy to operate, low energy consumption and can be operated at room temperature, making them easy to produce industrially.
The key to membrane technology is the selection of the best material to make it suitable for large-scale industrial production.
The size of the pores is also an important factor, making it so small that the smallest bacteria and viruses cannot pass through to ensure the purity of the water.

What are the damages of not replacing reverse osmosis membranes for a long time?
1. Proper pre-treatment. Reverse osmosis membrane system equipped with pretreatment devices relative to the raw water quality and flow is not appropriate, or in the system is not equipped with the necessary process devices and process links. Pre-treatment device does not operate properly, i.e. the system's original pre-treatment equipment has a low removal capacity for raw water SDI components, turbidity, colloids, etc., and the pre-treatment effect is not ideal.
2. Uniform selection of inappropriate equipment or incorrect choice of equipment materials (pumps, piping and others).
3. Failure of the chemical injection unit (acid, flocculant/coagulant, scale inhibitor/dispersant, reducing agent and others).
4. Failure to take appropriate protective measures after intermittent operation or system shutdown.
5. Unreasonable operation and use of equipment by line managers (recovery rate, water production, concentration, differential pressure, cleaning).
6. Long time accumulation of insoluble sediment in the system.
7. Large changes in water composition or fundamental changes in water source characteristics.
8. Considerable microbiological contamination of the reverse osmosis membrane system has occurred.

As the global water resource crisis continues to intensify, the development of water treatment, wastewater treatment, and environmental protection technologies has become increasingly crucial. Against this backdrop, the 2023 Russia International Water Treatment Exhibition (ECWATECH) has emerged as a
The application of reverse osmosis (RO) technology in steam generation processes has gained significant attention due to its potential to enhance operational efficiency, reduce scaling, and improve water quality. This paper delves into the utilization of small-scale RO systems in steam generators. B
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are commonly used for residential water purification, producing clean and fresh drinking water. Over time, RO membranes can become fouled or clogged by impurities, affecting water quality and system efficiency. This paper provides a comprehensive guide on how to clean a
