Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a process used to separate and remove a large
majority of water contaminants using a semi-permeable membrane. This is
a very economical method as it can remove up to 99% of organics,
bacteria and particulates from feed water. During this process, feed
water flows through a semi-permeable membrane under pressure. The water
molecules will pass through, whilst contaminants are deposited on the
membrane surface and flushed to drain as concentrate. This can be fed
back into the feed water supply to be recycled, helping to save water
waste.
Using the most advanced Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology available,
the Puro™ efficiently removes up to 99% of the contaminants from your
mains water feed to produce Primary Grade Type 3 RO water. The Puro™
offers you a small footprint solution to feed glass washers or other
laboratory equipment. With a choice of four flow rates up to 80L/hr and a
variety of storage options, feeding the critical equipment in your
laboratory with RO water has never been so made-to-measure. Your RO
water demands will always be met with the Puro™ installed.
The Puro™ has up to 50% water recovery rate due
to the innovative configuration of the RO membrane (see flowchart
below). Feed water that does not meet the required standard is recycled
back around the system rather than being sent to the drain. Not only
does this reduce waste water and increase its efficiency, but results in
low running costs.
