Reverse Osmosis Process
UV Process
TheReverseOsmosisprocess,alsoknownas
hyperltraon,isthenestltraonprocess
knownlldate.Theprocessensuresremoval
ofparclesassmallasionsfromasoluon.
Reverse Osmosis uses a semi-permeable
membrane to remove salts from potable/
brackish water. In Reverse Osmosis, water
pressure applied to the concentrated side
forces the process of osmosis into reverse.
Under enough pressure, treated water is
“squeezed” through the membrane from
the concentrated side to the diluted side.
Saltsdissolvedinwateraschargedionsare
repelledbytheROmembrane.Therejected
impuriesontheconcentratedsideofthemembranearewashedawayinastreamof
wastewaterandthusdonotgetaccumulatedasinatradionallter.
TheUVlighthasshorterwavelength(higherenergy)thanthevisiblelight.Itiscalled
ultra-violetbecauseitisjustbeyondvioletlightinthelightspectrum.Technically,the
ultra-violet light is dened to be any wavelengthof light, which is shorterthan 400
nanometer.
UVrays,whichpenetrateintothemicro-organisms,areabsorbed bytheDNA ofthe
pathogen in the water. The DNA is altered in such a way that the pathogen cannot
reproduceitself.Thus,itisessenallykilledandcannotcauseinfecon.Thisprocessof
DNAmodicaoniscalledinacvaon.
