Reverse Osmosis can remove 95-99% of the dissolved salts (ions), particles, colloids, organics, bacteria,
and pyrogens from the feed water. An RO membrane rejects contaminants based on their size and
charge. Any contaminant that has a molecular weight greater than 200 is likely rejected by a properly
running RO system. Likewise, the greater the ionic charge of the contaminant, the more likely it will be
unable to pass through the RO membrane.

Reverse Osmosis is very effective in treating brackish, surface and ground water for both large and small
flows applications. Some examples of industries that use RO water include pharmaceutical, boiler feed
water, food and beverage, metal finishing and semiconductor manufacturing to name a few.
