Filtration in Commercial Reverse Osmosis Membrane

Due to the importance of high quality water in commercial establishments, many companies are constantly on the lookout for the best ways to ensure the purity of the water they deliver to customers. Three relatively new forms of filtration processes are currently being used across industries because of their ability to provide high-quality purified water: nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), and ultrafiltration (UF)

AXEON Launches Two New Lines of Commercial Reverse Osmosis Systems

AXEON Water Technologies takes pride in being an industry leader in the field of membrane technology. For 25 years, our success has been driven by our commitment to deliver only the best products and solutions to our customers. For this reason, we always strive to maintain our high standards and improve our offerings. Staying true to our purpose, we are launching two new lines of light commercial reverse osmosis systems. These new units are in a middle range, more powerful than a typical residential unit but more compact than full-fledged commercial units.

Why Purify Your Resto Water with a Commercial Reverse Osmosis System

Clean water is crucial to the success of every restaurant. After all, unsafe water may result in poor-tasting food and beverages and could lead to reduced restaurant visits. This is also the reason why there has been an ongoing debate between using bottled vs. tap water.

For many years, bottled water has been positioned as the best source of drinking water, even better than tap water. Many tests, however, have debunked this and have proven that tap water is just as safe as bottled water. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), responsible for regulating municipal water supplies, requires utility companies to conduct tests many times per month to ensure the safety of tap water.

Dealing with RO Membrane Fouling

However efficient an RO system might be, it’s still susceptible to membrane fouling the same way people are susceptible to acquiring a common cold. Accepting the fact that membrane fouling is bound to happen in your RO system is the first step to dealing with this problem, which then leads to anticipating and counteracting it.

Seeing the Signs

 There are numerous telltale signs that your RO system membrane has already been fouled, including persistent flow loss or a small increase in hardness, which can be enough to cause scaling. To properly diagnose the problem with your RO system membrane, it’s important to have an available baseline, along with an ongoing tracking of the system performance.

Factors in Fouling

 Membrane fouling is a general term denoting numerous phenomena that impact the RO membrane’s performance, whether singly or in combination. Numerous factors can be at play in membrane fouling, and it’s nearly impossible to calculate not only the interrelated effects on the RO system itself, but also the individual impact of each factor.

There are, however, different effective ways to tackle each phenomena that contributes to membrane fouling, and cleaning methods like acid cleaning and sanitizing are recommended only for certain circumstances. Membrane fouling also calls for you, as the operator, to have an ongoing and thorough understanding of the system’s norms and quirks.

Waiter, Water: Treated Water in Restaurants

Water is one of the most essential ingredients in cooking, finding its way in both foods and drinks. The quality of water, however, can vastly differ between restaurants, affecting the flavors of their dishes and beverages. It is important for restaurants, therefore, to pay closer attention to the quality of their water if they want to maintain a consistent taste for everything they serve—including (and most especially) a regular glass of water.

Replacing Commercial Reverse Osmosis Membranes

Commercial reverse osmosis membranes are the most efficient components of any water treatment system. The RO membrane is responsible for filtering and removing any contaminants and organic compounds so that the water can be pure enough for consumption. Yet, however durable and efficient they might be, there will come a time when they need to be replaced. While that is a less than ideal scenario, it is necessary to preserve the quality of water produced by a commercial RO system.

How Reverse Osmosis Membranes Work

The effectiveness of a reverse osmosis water filtration system is entirely reliant upon the membrane within it. Without this core component, there would be no reverse osmosis at all, and contaminated water will stay as it is: unsafe. Here’s a closer look at how reverse osmosis (RO) membranes treat unclean water.

RO water filtration works the same across all platforms and situations, from small, kitchen-based systems to huge commercial and industrial treatment centers. They all make use of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes created from multiple sheets of filtration material. Generally, there are three layers of filtration material wound spirally around a hollow tube with holes. The filtration materials are semi-permeable, allowing them to prohibit anything other than water to pass through.

After being assembled, the membrane component is then put in a chamber which separates the purified water from the contaminated one. When adequate water pressure is applied to the chamber, water flows through the membrane element in a spiral direction from the sheets at the top layer towards the center of the hollow tube. The amount of membrane layers and the way they’re wrapped around the tube are responsible for the filtration, preventing about 90-99% of solids from passing through.

RO membranes are potent enough to almost completely filter out a wide variety of contaminants, including 95-98% of toxic materials such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cyanide . Afterwards, the water would harbor no harmful elements, ready for safe consumption.
