RO System 6000 GPD - Senegal

The process of reverse osmosis deals with the use of a high pressure pump which applies extreme pressure to the high saline concentrated side of a semi-porous membrane, combatting a natural process called "Osmosis". Naturally, osmosis transports salt through a semi-porous membrane from a region with low saline concentration to a region with high saline concentration. Its goal is to gain an equal quantity of saline concentration on both sides of the membrane. With the use of the high pressure pump, reverse osmosis comes in to direct osmosis to the opposite direction. The pump applies high pressure to the highly concentrated saline side of the membrane, pushing salty water and other impurities across the membrane, only allowing water molecules to flow through. Salt and the impurities are rejected and later thrown into the drain on the concentrate side. In the end, we obtain purified water with 99% less dissolved salts on the permeate side of the membrane.

Water Challenges: The characteristics of chemicals throughout groundwater is determined by the gases and minerals reacting with the water in its generally slow passage through the Earth’s crust. Extensive variations in groundwater quality are brought by many variables in various water sources. Dissolved minerals such as silica and sulphate produce corrosiveness among water which leads to the deterioration of water treatment equipment, steam boilers, water pipes, etc. Measures to avoid this from occurring involves utilizing active agents that work to minimize these unwanted effects and maintaining pH stability in treated water. If properly treated, the feed water will reach a balance where the additional of more dissolved substances will no longer occur.

Pure Aqua manufactured and supplied commercial Reverse Osmosis plant complete with pre-treatment to a company in Senegal. The system was designed to produce 6000 GPD.

From its initial start-up, the machine has been working properly with minimal trouble-shooting. A quality reverse osmosis machine is designed to deliver high quality service by removing massive amounts of salt and other impurities from wells, lakes, rivers, and the ocean through a process called 'reverse osmosis".
