1.0 Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment.

Reverse osmosis water treatment separates molecules and ions from their solutions, and is used in the production of potable, ultrapure and process water. Tenitech Africa (K) Limited Water Technologies, as part of its total water solutions supply, manufactures high-quality reverse osmosis membranes and chemicals, and will design, install and commission your entire reverse osmosis water treatment plant.
By applying external pressure, reverse osmosis drives a given solution through a semi-permeable membrane designed to overcome its osmotic pressure. Under normal osmotic circumstances, the solution would travel from lower saline concentration to high concentrations.
The largest application of reverse osmosis water treatment is desalination - the production of potable water from seawater - which provides a fundamental water source for some of the world's major cities. Tenitech Africa (K) Limited reverse osmosis water treatment installations account for about 15% of the world's total desalination capacity, and include one of the world's largest-capacity reverse osmosis plants used for desalination.
Apart from desalination, reverse osmosis water treatment is also used extensively in:
• The production of process and potable water
• Polishing and demineralization of boiler feed water and pharmaceutical water.
• The rehabilitation and recycling of process and municipal effluent
• As part of an integrated zero liquid discharge process optimization.
Additionally, reverse osmosis in wastewater treatment is one of Tenitech Africa (K) Limited wastewater treatment processes.
There is a strong market in Africa municipal sector for reverse osmosis, while zero liquid discharge installations save industrial clients money by recycling process water and limiting their production and dumping of waste and waste by-products
