Conservation Efforts Results in Large Reverse Osmosis Plant in California Conserving water has long been a major concern in California. This situation has forced the state to implement emergency water-conservation measures as it struggles to cope with an ongoing drought that has depleted reservoirs and left farms parched. The Orange County Water District (OCWD) has
Why Reverse Osmosis Chemicals and RO Antiscalants Matter
What are Reverse Osmosis Chemicals and RO Antiscalants? Reverse osmosis chemicals, or RO Chemicals, and RO antiscalants are specialty chemicals that are added upstream of a reverse osmosis membrane system. These reverse osmosis chemicals are designed to prevent or slow-down mineral scale formation on the membrane surface. For this reason, the right antiscalant is critical
Understanding Alkalinity and its Impact on Reverse Osmosis Membrane Scaling
Alkalinity is Vital for Reverse Osmosis and Nanofiltration Membrane Plant Operators The word “alkalinity” is probably one of the most commonly used in our industry. Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF) plant operators have to measure the alkalinity in the feed to their membrane plant, as well as in the permeate and finished water. We
