Professional end-to-end reverse osmosis service

In manufacturing systems, high-purity water is a core prerequisite for ensuring product quality and extending equipment lifespan. Reverse osmosis technology, with its precise membrane separation capabilities, has become the mainstream solution for pure water production. Professional reverse osmosis service is crucial for ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the system and maximizing efficiency, serving a wide range of industries including chemical, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and power generation.

Reverse osmosis service is centered on membrane separation technology. The underlying principle is to use high pressure to drive water molecules through the selective micropores of a semi-permeable membrane, while simultaneously trapping impurities such as salts, colloids, organic matter, and microorganisms, achieving highly efficient separation of water and pollutants. This type of service is not simply equipment maintenance, but a comprehensive solution covering the entire lifecycle. It forms a complete service loop, from system diagnostics to on-site execution, from routine maintenance to technical upgrades.

What aspects is covered by reverse osmosis service?

① System review and customized optimization are fundamental aspects of reverse osmosis services. A professional service team conducts a comprehensive review of existing water treatment systems, analyzing core data such as influent water quality, operating parameters, and product water indicators to accurately pinpoint performance bottlenecks. They tailor pre-treatment modules — including cartridge filtration, activated carbon adsorption and softening — to the operating conditions of different enterprises. And meanwhile, they leverage their proprietary technologies to optimize operating plans, such as enabling remote monitoring systems to track equipment status in real time, which significantly cuts unplanned downtime.

② Membrane element-specific services are crucial for ensuring system efficiency. As core consumables, membrane elements are prone to performance degradation due to fouling and scaling. The service team develops targeted cleaning plans based on the type of fouling, restoring membrane performance through professional agents and standardized procedures. When conventional testing fails to locate the fault, they use membrane dissection technology to analyze scaling causes, optimize pretreatment and operating parameters at the source, and also provide tailored replacement recommendations for membrane elements to cut enterprises’ consumable costs.

③ Online guidance and remote support services are essential guarantees for reverse osmosis service. The service team provides 24/7 online response to unexpected parameter anomalies and equipment alarms during enterprise operation and maintenance. They can remotely connect the system to the backend to view real-time operational data, pinpoint the root causes of faults, and deliver precise operational guidance via voice, text and images. For complex situations that cannot be handled remotely, the nearest technical personnel will be dispatched to the site immediately, forming a dual guarantee system of “online guidance + on-site support” to comprehensively protect the continuous and stable operation of the system.

What are some examples of reverse osmosis service?

Compared to in-house operations and maintenance, professional reverse osmosis service offers significant advantages in energy consumption control and operational efficiency. Numerous large-scale projects have already demonstrated their value.

DuPont reverse osmosis system

The traditional reverse osmosis system of ADM Group in the United States suffered from frequent shutdowns for cleaning due to microbial growth and membrane fouling, resulting in short membrane life, high maintenance and energy consumption. DuPont Water upgraded its closed-loop reverse osmosis system, and through customized optimization, antifouling, and intelligent control, significantly reduced the frequency of cleaning, nearly doubled the membrane life, reduced energy consumption, and significantly improved equipment uptime and product water stability.

IDE Seawater Desalination Plant

The Soreco desalination plant in Israel is equipped with a full-process reverse osmosis service provided by IDE Technologies. It uses 16-inch large-diameter membrane modules to build a two-stage reverse osmosis system, coupled with automated pretreatment and intelligent operation and maintenance solutions. With just over 40 employees, they achieve a daily fresh water production capacity of 624,000 cubic meters with a salt rejection rate of over 90%, and they precisely control the system’s operation and maintenance costs at an industry-low level.

Wastewater treatment

The fragility of polymer membranes and high maintenance costs troubled a wastewater treatment project on an Italian ship. A professional team replaced the membranes with ceramic flat-sheet membranes and optimized the reverse osmosis system. Without modifying the original equipment, they only upgraded the core membrane components. This cut membrane replacement costs by over 50%, reduced maintenance requirements to a quarter, and ensured the effluent turbidity remains consistently below 0.3 NTU, fully complying with marine discharge standards.

Saudi desalination project

In the Rabigh Phase IV seawater desalination project in Saudi Arabia, the service team innovated the membrane module layout process and optimized the water production path by adding plugs to the water production pipe of the membrane shell. This reduced the power consumption per ton of water produced to 2.773 kWh, the lowest in the industry, and also extended the service life of the membrane elements, achieving dual optimization of efficiency and cost.

These cross-industry cases fully demonstrate that professional reverse osmosis service can accurately adapt to different working conditions and create considerable economic benefits and production value for enterprises.
