With Industrial Reverse Osmosis, Even Wastewater Can Be Made Drinkable

The end to California’s long-standing drought is nowhere in sight. That said, water supply in the state is steadily dwindling, and pretty soon there would be nothing left if no solution is put into effect. So what are the authorities doing about it, you may ask? Popular Science contributor Brooke Borel was in California recently, spending some time at an event at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. In the gathering, he met a few people from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which previously talked about where wastewater goes and how water recycling works in general. Borel then inquired about how wastewater gets treated, and if the resulting water can be consumed per se; a welcome idea considering the Golden State’s parched status.

Can Seawater Be Made Drinkable?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner has made this dilemma well known for centuries with a few words: “Water, water, every where, nor any drop to drink”—a line that refers to the non-drinkability of ocean water. With potable water becoming increasingly scarce all over the world, a lot of people are now looking to the oceans as sources. But the question is, can seawater be really made drinkable?

Pushing Water: How Reverse Osmosis Works

When you're considering an industrial reverse osmosis (RO) system for your company, you'll need to understand what sets it apart from other water purification systems on the market. First developed in the 1950s, reverse osmosis was initially used for water desalination. A lot of industries now use RO to ensure pure water for their facilities.

How Industrial Reverse Osmosis Benefit Metal Finishing Operations

Rinse water quality is essential in metal finishing. Excessive water hardness and high total dissolved solids (TDS) in the water can seriously impair coating performance. TDS are likely to be deposited on the metal parts during the rinsing process. Chlorides, sulfates, calcium, along with other minerals and chemicals can stick to the metal substrate as water evaporates. Water softening isn’t the solution because this merely replaces calcium and magnesium with sodium, which serves as the catalyst for premature corrosion, coating delamination, and other expensive coating failures. Additionally, these contaminants can result in huge waste water disposal during the recovery process. Most recovery technologies carry with it the drag-out from the bath process to the rinse water. The contaminants from this drag-out, in turn, accumulate levels high enough to cause bath chemistry failure and huge solution disposal.

For Premium Quality Industrial Reverse Osmosis Systems, Choose AXEON

AXEON Water Technologies has been a leading manufacturer of industrial reverse osmosis systems for over 25 years. We manufacture standardized and customizable solutions ranging from 40 gpm (gallons per minute) to 325 gpm (57,600 gpd to 468,000 gpd). AXEON's industrial reverse osmosis systems are engineered with the highest quality components to produce high purity water by reducing contaminants such as particulates, organic impurities, and dissolved minerals. Most industrial reverse osmosis systems contain horizontally mounted membrane housings which have multiple industrial reverse osmosis membranes measuring 8-inches. This allows the system to efficiently and constantly produce a massive amount of water while minimizing product costs and maintenance.

Reverse Osmosis and Sustainable Water Consumption

Water is an all-important resource when it comes to manufacturing a variety of everyday products such as paper, petroleum gasoline, and a variety of metals. In such applications, fresh and clean water is necessary to produce high-quality products—and there lies the problem.

Out of all the water on Earth, only 2.5 percent is freshwater. The problem is compounded further when you take into account that 68.7 percent of freshwater is found in glaciers and ice caps. Of course, the 2.5 percent of freshwater isn’t exclusive to the industrial sector, as the amount is also the source used in residences, businesses, etc.
