Reverse Osmosis Presented by Dick Youmans, CWT David H. Paul, Inc. 2

Outline for this Presentation 1) Define Osmosis and Reverse Osmosis 2) Types of Membranes and Their Characteristics 3) Manufacturing Process for the Membrane 4) Demonstration: Rolling One Of Our Own 5) Understand Water Flow Through an Element 6) Understand Water Flow Through Pressure Vessels 3

Definition of Osmosis Osmosis is the process where a solvent (usually water) passes from a dilute solution into a more concentrated one by moving through a semipermeable membrane which selectively allows the passage of the solvent, but restricts the passage of the solute (dissolved solids). 4

Types of Pressures Involved 1) Osmotic Pressure 2) Applied Pressures A) Hydrostatic or Head Pressure B) Pump or External Pressure 3) Net Driving Pressure 8

Definition of Reverse Osmosis Reverse Osmosis occurs when sufficient external pump pressure is applied to the more concentrated solution to overcome osmotic and hydrostatic pressures to reverse the osmotic reaction causing water to flow from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution. 16

Major Types of Membranes Configurations 1) Tubular (inside out) 2) Hollow Fiber (outside in) a) Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger 3) Spiral Wound a) Cellulose Acetate b) Thin Film Polyamide Composite 18

Spiral Wound RO Membrane Element 19

Cellulose Acetate Membranes 1) More Expensive than Thin Film Membranes 2) Typical salt rejection of 96% 3) Typical operating pressures of 400 to 700 PSI 4) Optimum ph operating range of 4.8 to 6.5 5) Good Chlorine Tolerance 20

Thin Film Composite Membranes 1) Less expensive than cellulose acetate membranes 2) Typical salt rejection of 97 to 98% 3) Typical operating pressures of 200-300 PSI 4) Wide ph operating range of 2-10 5) Very Low Chlorine Tolerance 6) Less susceptible to compaction due to lower PSI 21
