The implementation of reverse osmosis systems in industrial processes has become a necessary condition in various sectors and operations. Having osmotized water for industrial activities or the production of various materials facilitates, optimizes processes, enhances the quality of the result, and prevents the deterioration and impact on installations.
Treatment based on this reverse osmosis technology has a wide variety of applications in industries such as:
Food and Beverage Industry: The use of reverse osmosis in these industries is varied. Its primary purpose is to meet the strictest decontamination specifications and provide preventive solutions against diseases. Specific benefits include the use of osmotized water in juice preparation, dairy whey and posts production, prolonging their duration, making them more resistant over time, and to external environmental factors.
Metallurgical and Surface Treatment Industry: Water purity in surface treatment is a fundamental parameter for protective layers applied to materials to act correctly. Osmotized water prevents components of conventional water from damaging this treatment, avoiding clogging of material surface pores and preventing homogeneous penetration. In processes such as welding or coating, the absence of impurities is necessary for a correct outcome.
Chemical, Cosmetic, and Pharmaceutical Industry: The use of water with low conductivity is crucial in these industries. This condition also applies to the petrochemical industry, where solvents, paints, plastics, pesticides, and agrochemical products are produced. In pharmacy and drug manufacturing, water requirements for production demand the highest levels of quality, necessitating extreme care in purified water production and control.
Livestock Industry: Water is an important nutrient in animal feed, directly impacting biological cycles and being crucial to maintaining appropriate physiological constants. The use of water free of organic matter, synthetic chemicals, and bacteria, as regulated by the Royal Decree, is essential in this industry and for its development.
Electronic Industry: Ultrapure water derived from osmosis and processes like ion exchange is fundamental for the production of electronic components, such as semiconductors and microprocessors.
Electrical Industry: Industries using water vapor for electricity generation require high-quality water free of impurities. The presence of impurities in steam causes problems in installations (such as turbine damage) and consequently reduces electricity production, directly impacting production costs.
There are many more industries beyond those mentioned where reverse osmosis is used in production processes. In conclusion, reverse osmosis technology in the industry is increasingly used due to the different advantages and improvements it brings to processes and products. It is an efficient, non-contaminating technology (as it does not use harmful chemicals), with a modular design adaptable to existing filtration processes.
