What is RO Membrane?

Water is what defines the essence of one’s life. But, the main problem in today’s age is the lack of clean and pure drinking water. According to the World Economic Forum, water crisis is the number 1 global risk based on impact on society. It is also quite alarming that there are more than 663 million people, 1 in 3, who lack access to clean water. However, with the way things are changing, there are several ways in which the dream of clean water can become a reality.

A Membrane is made up of thin sheets of synthetic plastic material that have fine holes or pores in it. The size of pores varies for different types of water purification membranes. One can classify the types of membranes used to purify water on the/ basis of their pore size. Reverse osmosis is one of the most common and effective water treatment systems. The chief filtering media in these systems is an RO membrane. Reverse Osmosis membranes have the smallest pore size of about 0.0005 microns which is just a bit larger than the size of a water molecule and smaller than that of a Sodium Chloride Molecule of 0.0007 microns. When the reverse osmosis of water takes place the feed water flows through one end of the RO membrane. The pressured water flows through the membrane and reaches the core, while the dissolved minerals remain on the feed side. The water that flows through the membrane is called “permeate” and it is now safe to drink. The pores in the RO membrane are small enough to restrict organic compounds such as minerals and salt but lets the water molecules to pass through it. Reverse osmosis membranes also obstruct the disease-causing pathogens and bacteria from water. We at Hitech Membranes have been manufacturing and supplying Industrial as well as Commercial RO Membrane since 1995. The RO Membranes from Hi-Tech are certified which makes our membranes the word for quality. We have specialist engineers to design the RO membranes for any process and any industry. Depending on your application, we offer a variety of reverse osmosis membranes that exhibit consistent performance and lifespan characteristics best suited for seawater desalination, brackish water, and high flow commercial applications. If you need any assistance in finding your RO membrane, let us know.

Hi-Tech Membranes, manufacturers of RO Membranes have 21 years of service excellence, and serve as an embodiment of the words “streamlined process” because its RO Membranes are successful in removing impurities which in one way or the other are life-threatening.

As the talk about the future of our wonderful planet has started gaining more steam, it is important for us, as a society, a collective bunch of thinking minds, to come together and propagate the need for clean drinking water. There are several ways one can get clean water, but the Hi-Tech RO membrane is the sure shot solution of reducing the cost involved with water purifying and helping dozens and dozens of people quench their thirst of clean, drinkable water.
