Reverse Osmosis

Treatment Technology
In reverse osmosis (RO), high pressure is used to push water through a semi-permeable membrane with very small pores; the pores allow water to pass through but keep certain contaminants from doing so. The process is the reverse of natural osmosis, where water flows from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution. Reverse osmosis is a membrane filtration technology like micro-, ultra-, and nanofiltration; pore size from largest to smallest is as follows: microfiltration > ultrafiltration > nanofiltration > reverse osmosis.
