Reverse Osmosis Applications with HydroFLOW®

HydroFLOW® optimises reverse osmosis (RO) operations by treating membranes and other equipment for scale and biofouling. It can enhance pre-treatment filtration and lead to more consistent flow rates, reduced maintenance and longer membrane life.

Optimising Reverse Osmosis with HydroFLOW®

Reverse osmosis (RO) is widely used for water purification in industries such as wastewater treatment, food processing, desalination, and pharmaceuticals. However, RO systems face challenges such as scaling, biofouling, and membrane degradation, which reduce efficiency, increase operational costs, and require frequent chemical cleaning.

HydroFLOW® provides an innovative, non-chemical solution to optimise RO performance. By treating scale buildup, inhibiting biofilm formation, and improving water quality before filtration, HydroFLOW® helps maintain consistent flow rates, reduces maintenance, and extends membrane life.

HydroFLOW® Solutions for Reverse Osmosis: Clean Membranes, High Recovery, and Longer Life

Treats Limescale & Scaling on RO Membranes

Limescale buildup on RO membranes reduces permeability, increases pressure requirements, and leads to frequent cleanings. HydroFLOW® treats scale formation by keeping minerals in suspension, reducing scaling on membranes and pre-filters.

N

Treats scaling on RO membranes and filtration components

N

Reduces membrane fouling and maintains optimal water flow

N
