reverse osmosis plant is a manufacturing plant where the process of reverse osmosis takes place. Reverse osmosis is a common process to purify or desalinate contaminated water by forcing water through a membrane. Water produced by reverse osmosis may be used for a variety of purposes, including desalination, wastewater treatment, concentration of contaminants, and the reclamation of dissolved minerals.
Following pre-treatment, high levels of pressure send water through a semi-permeable membrane, which retains all contaminants but let’s pure water pass through.[4] Energy requirements depend on the concentration of salts and contaminants in the influent water; higher concentrations requires more energy to treat.
