Now that we know how to create an RO process in a two-compartment tank, we need to know how to build an actual RO machine that will give us a continuous flow of purified water. We need five ingredients to convert our RO tank to become a purified water-producing machine capable of continuous flow;
Reverse Osmosis
REVERSE OSMOSIS – PART TWO OF THREE
In the last blog post we learned what osmosis was and saw a visual of what it was. To reiterate, in Osmosis cleaner water moves from the less concentrated side of a semipermeable membrane into the side where there is contamination. The problem with this is is that we can never achieve high purity water because there will always be contaminants on both side of the membrane.
REVERSE OSMOSIS – PART ONE OF THREE
When I began designing and selling Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems circa 1975, very few people ever heard of the technology let alone understood it. Today, RO is a common technology found in many homes but many still do not understand why it is called Reverse Osmosis. So, lets take a closer look. The accompanying figure will help with the description. The key to an RO system is something called a…
