Technological approaches to providing safe drinking water for rural and remote areas
Provision of safe drinking water is one of the key drivers in our technological pursuits. A number of habitations are suffering from a variety of water quality problems such as excess salinity, iron, arsenic, fluoride, nitrate and microbial contamination. Simplicity of operation, less dependence on external sources of power supply, minimisation of wastewater, etc., are some of the ground rules to ...

Pros and Cons of Seawater Desalination using Reverse Osmosis for Drinking Water
Seawater desalination will undeniably be the future of drinking water production for coastal communities and island nations in current times of water scarcity. It is already used quite heavily in a few countries. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States are the top three desalination producers of drinking water by capacity in the world followed by Australia, China, and ...

Reverse osmosis and removal of minerals from drinking water
Reverse Osmosis will generally remove salt, manganese, iron, flouride, lead, and calcium (Binnie et. al., 2002). Most mineral constituents of water are physically larger than water molecules and they are trapped by the semi-permeable membrane and removed from drinking water when filtered through a RO (AllAboutWater.org, 2004). Meanwhile, consumers are concerned about the removal of minerals ...

RO Membrane Technology
RO membrane technology is a water purification technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking water. In reverse osmosis, an applied pressure is used to overcome osmotic pressure, a colligative property, that is driven by chemical potential differences of the solvent, a thermodynamic parameter. The reverse osmosis membrane technology can ...

How does our nitrate removal system differ from reverse osmosis (RO) systems?
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are the workhorse of the drinking water purification market. They are extremely effective in separating water impurities above a certain size (molecules or particles slightly large than a water molecule are filtered or removed). So, does RO eliminate or reduce nitrate? The answer is no. Some RO membranes will remove the nitrate molecule from the incoming water and ...

Continuous fibres lead to successfuI filter
An improved design of wound string filter has doubled contaminant holding capacity and avoided the shedding of small fibres bad into the fluid. Tom Shelley investigates Wound string filters are setting new benchmarks for efficiently catching large amounts of dirt, without risk of introducing stray fibres or other contaminants into the fluid stream being filtered. Initially made of melt spun ...

Membrane Free Volume Characterization
Free Volume in Reverse Osmosis Membrane Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the leading technique for water desalination. RO membranes have been optimized over the past three decades. Typically, commerical RO membranes can produce drinking water from seawater. Water and salt transport through RO membrane follows the so-called Solution-Diffusion Model. Particularly, during separation, water and salt ...

Reverse osmosis water recycling plants in Chennai & Gujarat, India
GEA designed and built eight (8) drinking water RO plants for domestic use in Chennai and Gujarat, which have been experiencing serious drought conditions for the past 3 years. These residential private plants range from 2,000 to 15,000 GPD, typically averaging about 12,500 GPD. Source water is marginal or unsuitable ground or river water. Most systems have had a two-pass design to achieve ...

Intrinsic properties and performances of NF270 and XLE membranes for water filtration
Nanofiltration and low pressure reverse osmosis membranes are well-known in the field of drinking water production and their separation performance is very strongly related to their intrinsic characteristics. The membrane characterization (scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), zeta potential …) was realized on a NF270 and extra-low energy (XLE) membrane. SEM results ...

Size fractionation characterisation of removed organics in reverse osmosis concentrates by ferric chloride
Reverse osmosis membrane separation is the leading method for manufacturing potable purified water. It also produces a concentrate stream, namely reverse osmosis concentrates (ROC), with 10–20% of the water, and almost all other compounds. One method for further treating this stream is by coagulation with ferric chloride. This study evaluates removed organics in ROC treated with ferric chloride. ...
