RO overview

High-pressure treatment, precisely configured.

Our RO systems are engineered according to feed-water quality, required product-water quality, flow rate, recovery target and end-use application.

The system can be integrated with pretreatment, filtration, softening, ultrafiltration and post-treatment to achieve the required water quality.

Feed Water
High Pressure
Semi-Permeable Membrane

Permeate / Product Water

The portion of water that passes through the membrane and becomes the treated/product-water stream.

Concentrate / Reject

The portion retained by the membrane and containing a higher concentration of rejected contaminants.

Membrane performance

What does an RO plant remove?

Depending on membrane type and operating conditions, RO can substantially reduce a range of dissolved contaminants.

RO is particularly useful when dissolved-solids reduction is required. However, RO alone should not be assumed to remove every contaminant to the same degree; treatment design should be based on actual water analysis.

Total Dissolved Solids

Dissolved-solids reduction

Dissolved salts

Many dissolved salts can be substantially reduced

Hardness-causing ions

A key reason for membrane treatment

Certain metals

Reduction depends on membrane type and conditions

Many inorganic contaminants

Useful for dissolved-contaminant reduction

Some microorganisms

Performance depends on membrane and operating conditions

Project sizing

RO plant capacity

We can design RO systems according to project requirements, from small commercial systems to large industrial installations.

Capacity ranges are indicative. Actual plant sizing depends on operating hours, peak demand, feed-water quality, recovery, required permeate quality and site conditions.

ApplicationTypical capacity
Small Commercial RO250–2,000 LPH
Commercial RO2,000–10,000 LPH
Industrial RO10,000–100,000+ LPH
Large Industrial SystemsCustomized
BWRO / SWROCustomized according to feed water
Design intelligence

Important RO design parameters

Before designing an RO plant, we evaluate feed-water and operating parameters that influence membrane selection, pretreatment and stability.

01

Feed Flow

Determines plant capacity

02

TDS

Determines membrane selection and system configuration

03

pH

Influences membrane performance and pretreatment

04

Total Hardness

Important for scaling control

05

Alkalinity

Important for scaling assessment

06

Silica

Important for membrane scaling

07

Iron & Manganese

Can cause membrane fouling

08

Turbidity

Determines pretreatment requirements

09

SDI

12

Microbiological Quality

Important for biofouling control

RO pretreatment is part of the system.

Proper pretreatment is essential for reliable RO operation. For more demanding applications, UF or other advanced pretreatment can be incorporated.

Effective pretreatment helps control scaling, fouling, suspended solids and oxidant exposure, thereby supporting stable membrane operation.

Recovery logic

Feed becomes permeate plus concentrate.

RO systems produce both permeate and concentrate. Recovery is a design relationship, not a generic fixed percentage.

Recovery formula

Recovery = Permeate Flow ÷ Feed Flow × 100

Feed

Permeate

Treated/product-water stream

Concentrate

Stream containing a higher concentration of rejected contaminants

Achievable recovery depends on water chemistry, scaling potential, membrane configuration and treatment objectives. Higher recovery can reduce reject volume but may increase concentration of scaling-forming constituents.

RO water applications

Designed for the final water application

RO-treated water can be used for suitable applications such as drinking-water production, industrial utilities, process water and reuse systems.

Drinking-water production

Boiler-feed pretreatment

Cooling-water makeup

Process water

Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Food and beverage production

Laboratory applications

Electronics manufacturing

Hotels and hospitals

Water-reuse systems

For drinking-water applications in India, finished water should be tested against applicable requirements, including BIS IS 10500:2012 where applicable. BIS identifies IS 10500:2012 as the Indian Standard for drinking-water requirements and testing.

RO automation

High-pressure treatment with visible control.

Our RO plants can be supplied with automated monitoring and control systems, depending on project requirements.

Instrumentation can support operating visibility, protection, automatic operation and chemical dosing control.

Membrane care

Cleaning & maintenance follow operating data.

Regular monitoring and maintenance are important for long-term RO performance.

Membrane cleaning frequency should be determined from actual operating data and fouling/scaling conditions rather than following a single universal schedule.
