ChemTreat - RO Water Treatment System

While ion exchange requires chemicals, reverse osmosis is a physical process that filters pollutants out of water using semi-permeable membranes.

With water scarcity posing a problem for many industries, ROs are being used for all kinds of water reuse projects. These makeup sources include cooling tower blowdowns, coal ash ponds, and all ranges of wastewater from plants across all industries.

As the makeup water sources have become more complex, a well-designed pretreatment system and chemical program is even more important than ever for effectively operating an RO system. This includes maintaining an acceptable SDI, having the best antiscalant, and implementing a normalization trending program to keep the RO system on-line and functioning properly.

ChemTreat pretreatment experts are well-versed in these systems and can design a full chemical treatment and monitoring program. They can review design metrics around the RO and any upstream filtration and work with you to improve the overall efficiency of your pretreatment system.
