5 Misunderstandings of RO membrane system

Misunderstanding 1: RO membrane system operation is difficult

In fact, the operation of the RO membrane system is highly automated. Operations such as start and stop, dosing and online flushing can be controlled and executed by the PLC system to be unattended, requiring only manual regular inspection and dispensing, periodic maintenance and cleaning. There is basically no need to add additional operating staff. Routine cleaning and maintenance of reverse osmosis membranes can be mastered in one day of training.

Misunderstanding 2: Large investment, the reverse osmosis membrane is consumable, one-time investment but depreciation replacement cost is very high.

In fact, with the development of RO membrane manufacturers, the price of RO membranes is declining.By using RO reverse system, after realizing the recycling of water resources, the economic benefits generated far exceed the investment in the equipment itself.

Misunderstanding 3: The reverse osmosis membrane is delicate and easily damaged

Due to lack of experience of some engineering companies, the reverse osmosis membrane system designed and constructed has problems such as broken filaments of the reverse osmosis membrane and scrapping of the membrane will cause that the user think that reverse osmosis membrane is delicate.

In fact, the main problem comes from two aspects: process design and reverse osmosis membrane itself. Through proper pre-treatment design and safety protection design, the high-quality lining reinforced PVDF reverse osmosis membrane can be used for more than 5 years, generally the replacement cycle of RO reverse osmosis membrane is about 3 years.

Misunderstanding 4: Brand and quantity of RO membrane are more important than membrane area and system design of it

When purchasing RO membrane system, some companies pay too much attention to whether the reverse osmosis membrane is an imported product, and they do not understand the importance of system design.

In fact, the performance of some Chinese reverse osmosis membranes has approached or even reached the international advanced level, and of course more cost-effective than imported ones. The problem of reverse osmosis membrane system failures mainly come from process design and operation condition.

Misunderstanding 5: Reverse osmosis membrane system is omnipotent

In fact, membrane system is a unit treatment technology, which has the characteristics of product water low  turbidity, decolorization, desalination. As far as industrial wastewater treatment is concerned, membrane technology usually needs to be combined with traditional physicochemical and biochemical treatment processes to better utilize the advantages of membrane deep treatment. Moreover, membrane water treatment usually has the problem of concentrated water discharge, and it also has the need for supporting other technologies, which can not be used for all treatment conditions.
