Reverse Osmosis:

The tested and proven technology for the production of desalinated water for use’s both drinking water and industrial process water.

CERMOSIS supplies RO plants in different sizes for various types of water such as sea and brackish water and industrial effluent. Special attention has given to our plants by considering economic factors such as chemical consumption, energy recovery, membrane durability and process automation. We will offer you the best solution for drinking water at affordable rate.

CERMOSIS offer drinking water applications using two different technologies:

• Reverse Osmosis technology
• Ceramic membrane technology

Reverse Osmosis Technology:

Our standard, modular and packaged RO systems are integrated with high quality and performance membrane with high flux ratio. They are designed mainly with pre-treatment systems built in or added on it. It is capable to desalinate water with high TDS to low TDS depending on the selection of membrane and RO systems.

The high salt rejection RO systems suitable for small communities, commercial, light and heavy industries with TDS 100 mg/L.

CERMOSIS also provides domestic drinking water with portable unit of TDS

Ceramic Membrane Technology:

CERMOSIS offer drinking water system with unique methodology called ceramic membrane technology by replacing polymeric membrane with Silica Carbide membrane.

The unique features of Ceramic membrane are:

• High recovery rate (more than 99% recovery in drinking water due to high flux and low fouling tendency)
• Highest flux rate
• Reduced fouling
• Chemically inert 

Key highlights of Ceramic membrane:

• 1um pore size
• Active layer filter on the top of the membrane substrate
• Membrane body substrate with large pore size
• Outside-in filtration direction
• Can operate extreme temperature –pH 1-14
• Fast and easy restoring of permeability 

Applications:

• Ground water
• Brackish or Sea water desalination
• Removal of metals, silt, micro-organisms and TOC
• Treatment of backwash water

Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective forms of water filtration because unlike chemical or carbon filtration systems, which use certain materials to attract or directly target the contaminants in the water, reverse osmosis works by pushing water through a microscopically small filter material.

This semi-permeable membrane has a pore size of around 0.0001 microns, effectively only allowing the small water molecules through and catching any larger molecules of contaminants, organic materials or even salt. Originally designed to desalinate seawater and reduce high chemical contaminant material such as heavy metals, reverse osmosis is now in use in many government, commercial, military and even residential applications.

Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration

With nearly two million Americans living without basic access to safe drinking water and another 40% of Americans further filtering tap water at home, water filtration systems have become an important part of many U.S. households.

Though a massive number of cities and towns already use reverse osmosis systems for municipal water and in most places in the U.S. tap water is safe to drink, many homeowners seek additional water purification to make sure the water they drink is safe. Some of the benefits of a reverse osmosis water filtration system include:

1. Reverse Osmosis Filters Nearly All Contaminants

Unlike other forms of water filtration, reverse osmosis is considered one of the most all-around effective ways of eliminating water contaminants. Even residential-grade reverse osmosis filters can remove up to 99% of lead, asbestos and 82 other additional contaminants. Reverse osmosis systems have ended boil water advisories in communities across the world by safely treating the drinking water where traditional water filtration systems did not work.

The microscopic nature of a reverse osmosis filter membrane can filter out not only the larger contaminants most water filtration systems catch, but it can actually remove dissolved substances and minerals from within the water. This is because the membrane essentially strips the water down to basic molecules as it passes through.

2. Significantly Better for the Environment and Safer than Bottled Water

For communities for which the only other option for drinking water comes from disposable plastic bottles, reverse osmosis may be a safer and more environmentally friendly option. Though reverse osmosis wastes a lot of water (see disadvantages below), piling plastic water bottles up in landfills and polluting during the production of plastic may not be any better.

The quality of water in bottled water has been put into question in the last few years because while the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) strictly regulates and supervises the quality of tap water, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has much lighter restrictions on bottled water.

3. Mineral-Less Water May Be Necessary for Certain Uses

While the ultra-purified reverse osmosis water may be more than necessary for households already provided with clean tap water, certain water uses may benefit from water filtered through reverse osmosis. For example, chefs have noticed water filtered with reverse osmosis make cooking taste better since it lacks the presence of minerals, including municipally-added fluoride.
