Reverse Osmosis (RO)

You are here: Technologies > Membranes > Reverse Osmosis

The Reverse Osmosis membrane filtration process uses the tightest membranes and operates at approximately 35 bar pressure, allowing roughly spoken only water to pass through the pores of the membrane.

Typical Reverse Osmosis applications are:

Dairy

• Whey
  • Preconcentration (alternative or supplement to evaporation)
  • Transport cost savings (WPC, animal feed)
• Milk Transport cost savings
• UF Permeate
  • Preconcentration for lactose or alcohol production
  • Transport cost savings, animal feed
• White Water Concentration of white water from tanks, pipes, etc. for recovery of milk solids.
• Evaporator condensate/RO permeate Polishing for process/CIP water
