Reverse Osmosis Pressure Vessel

Part 1 Theory of Reverse Osmosis units and how to optimize p




This video is about reverse osmosis process.

Reverse osmosis is the process of moving fluid (water) through semi-permeable membrane, (the difference with the process of osmosis is) solution of fluid flow from high concentration to low concentration, alias filtering or filtration process, water may pass but the waste is not. Because this process is the reverse of the process of osmosis, the process of reverse osmosis requires external energy, which is a pump to increase pressure on one side so as to encourage the water to pass through the membrane.
 
Solution with high concentration (water plus impurities-pengotornya) driven into the RO membrane (which is a filter / filter), but due to the size of the holes in the membrane only as much as 0.0006 microns (where 1 micron = 1 / 1000 mm), then only pure water (H2O) are able to pass through. Impurities would be filtered and discarded.
