Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate water molecules from other substances. It applies pressure to overcome osmotic pressure that favors even distributions. This process can remove dissolved or suspended chemical species as well as biological substances, and is used in industrial processes and the production of potable water. Reverse osmosis is capable of removing up to 99%+ of the dissolved salts, particles, colloids, organics, bacteria, and pyrogens from the feed water. It is an effective and proven technology to produce water that is suitable for many industrial applications that require demineralized or deionized water
