Some of the benefits of reverse osmosis are discussed below –
This process can be used to effectively remove many types of dissolved and suspended chemical particles as well as biological entities (like bacteria) from the water.
This technique has a wide application in treating liquid wastes or discharges.
It is used in purifying water to prevent diseases.
It helps in desalinating seawater.
It is beneficial in the medical field.
Reverse Osmosis works by using a high-pressure pump to increase the pressure on the salt side of the RO and force the water across the semipermeable RO membrane, leaving almost all (around 95 to 99 %) dissolved salts in the reject stream behind.
