Reverse Osmosis Desalination
|
It is the process of removing salt from the water we have available so that we may drink it.
There are other methods of desalination such as flash evaporation and electro dialysis; however, these are very expensive methods to use.
The demand for suitable drinking water has become so great that researchers came up with another idea for removing the salt from water.
This involves the heating of sea water and pushing it through a membrane which removes the salt.
Companies Using Reverse Osmosis Desalination Method
One such company that specializes in desalination by reverse osmosis is Applied Membranes. This company has been in business for over 25 years, they stand behind their products and the fact that they are being used in over 100 countries across the world speaks for itself.Their RO (reverse osmosis) seawater system which converts seawater to suitable water for drinking is great for using at resorts or on a cruise ship. A system such as this would be great to have on your own boat.
Their system includes standard features such as:
- Pumps made from high pressure stainless steel
- Safeguards are in place for high pressure as well as low pressure
- Automatic shut off
- Flow meters to handle the water
- Relief valve for high pressure situations
- Pressure Gauge
- The frame is compact yet incredibly strong
When it comes to purchasing a reverse osmosis desalination product the individual choices you will make are invaluable. Finding the very best for the right price can be a daunting task. However, with the innovative new ideas from Applied Membranes you will be sure of having the right backing you need.
Another company that features the reverse osmosis desalination process is Ampac USA. Their products for changing sea water to fresh drinking water range from 1500 gallons per day to 100,000 gallons per day. The system arrives ready to install and start enjoying fresh water right way.
The method they use has a rejection rate of 98% for contaminates, salt and any pollutants gathered with the sea water. When the water enters the RO system through a fitting, it is then filtered though a strainer. This water is then fed through by a booster pump at 30 psi to pre-filters.
Oil is removed if there is any present. Any solids are removed before sending it to the high pressure pump. The methods used have an optional filtration at the end called an Ultraviolet Sterilizer which has a 99.8% rate of removing micro-organisms. These include bacteria and viruses.
The Ampac system, SeaPro is a one piece reverse osmosis desalination system. This system has an internal booster pump which forces the water through at high pressure. The use of this system is great for locations where there is not much room. The parts are all easily accessible in the case of needed maintenance.
Their standard features include:
- A simple on and off switch
- Can be used on land or on your boat
- It is easy to maintain
- A pre-filtration process is used
- A quality indicator for the quality of the water being processed
- High pressure indicator gauge
- 60 Hz/220v engine
- Strong frame
- Compact so it fits in the smallest spaces
- Low flow shutdown to prevent bubbles from rapidly forming and collapsing
When looking for a reverse osmosis desalination system you would do well with either one of these companies. They have been in business for several years and are dedicated to providing high-quality products to the consumer.
