C&G - Reverse Osmosis Plant

The reverse osmosis plant is used to treat process water, pumping it at high pressure through special semi-impermeable membranes. The porosity of these membranes traps particles and ions such as soluble salts and metals. The solution to be treated is pumped through the membrane and generates two flows. One contains all the ions and pollutants which do not pass through the pores, the other consists of water with a low saline content.
