Process

Reverse osmosis/sea water reverse osmosis is a very popular technology in water purification. It is commonly seen in countries where water is scarce or sea water is readily available. High purity water can be achieved by using a membrane to remove ions in the water. However, the success lies in effective pre-treatment of the influent to ensure maximum performance of the membranes.

Problem

Solid contaminants in the cooling water cause many problems including:

• Fouling – results in clogging of membrane surface, reducing removal efficiency, throughput volume and operation time. Increases maintenance cost for cleaning.

Products Suitable For This Application:

Amine Sweetening Application Guide
Feature-Tec Filter Product	Applied to	Description
SAFT/SAS/ Sand Filter	Raw water filtration	Automatic, self cleaning filter. Removes coarse, solid particles to extend the operation time of downstream filters.
Cartridge Filter Jumbo FSH	RO pre-filter (MF, UF)	Depth filters like cartridge filters remove residual particles to protect the RO membranes from clogging. High dirt holding capacity or high flow rate types available.
