Osmosis In figure A below, under normal pressure water will pass from the side of the membranes with lower concentration to the side with the higher concentration to reach equilibrium. (see figure B) |
Equilibrium Osmotic Pressure is the pressure required to stop water flow and reach equilibrium. When the applied pressure equals the osmotic pressure, the water flow stops. When applied pressure exceeds the osmotic pressure, reverse osmosis will take place. In reverse osmosis, water passes through the membrane to the dilute solution, leaving behind dissolved particles. This process purifies the water, often reducing total dissolved solids content by 99%. |
Reverse Osmosis Ecologix RO Systems use semi-permeable spiral wound, thin film membranes to separate and remove dissolved solids, organic material, pyrogens, submicron colloidal matter, viruses, and bacteria from water. Feed water is delivered under pressure to the membranes, where reverse osmosis takes place. Water permeates the minute pores of the membrane and is delivered as purfied product water. The impurities in the water do not pass through the membrane, and are instead concentrated in the reject stream that is flushed to the drain. |

The diagram to the far left shows the layers used to construct a typical RO Element. It also shows the flow of the water and how it permeates through the element. To the right is a photograph of a cut-out cross section of an RO element. |
