Reverse Osmosis Plant- SS

A reverse osmosis plant is amanufacturing plant where the process of reverse osmosis takes place. Reverseosmosis is a common process to purify or desalinate contaminated water byforcing water through a membrane. Water produced by reverse osmosis may be usedfor a variety of purposes, including desalination, wastewater treatment,concentration of contaminants, and the reclamation of dissolved minerals.Anaverage modern reverse osmosis plant needs six kilowatt-hours of electricity todesalinate one cubic metre of water.The process also results in an amount ofsalty briny waste. The challenge for these plants is to find ways to reduceenergy consumption, use sustainable energy sources, improve the process of desalinationand to innovate in the area of waste management to deal with the waste.Self-contained water treatment plants using reverse osmosis, called reverseosmosis water purification units, are normally used in a military context.
