Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultra Filtration (UF)

To safeguard systems from the challenges associated with varying feedwater quality, Globusmarine offers advanced treatment technologies tailored to every stage of the process.
For years, membrane-based systems have replaced traditional resin units in the production of water with controlled salinity, providing more efficient and reliable performance.

Pre-Treatment
Effective pretreatment is essential to minimizing fouling and scaling in reverse osmosis (RO) systems. Specialized formulations can be applied before the main filtration stage to:

  • Boost filtration efficiency
  • Lower the contaminant load
  • Reduce the Silt Density Index (SDI) of the feed water

 

POLYREN® 1500 Series

  • Organic coagulants
  • Filtration enhancers

Membrane Treatment for RO and UF Systems

Proper chemical treatment plays a critical role in maintaining membrane integrity and system performance. The right approach can:

  • Prevent premature membrane replacement
  • Maintain optimal efficiency and functionality
  • Ensure maximum water recovery
  • Lower energy consumption
  • Minimize downtime due to frequent membrane cleaning

Targeted biocidal treatments can significantly reduce biological fouling, decreasing the need for repeated cleanings and improving overall operational cost-efficiency.

PERMATROL® Series

Antiscalants and Dispersants
Formulated to control mineral scaling caused by compounds such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, and silicates. Using specialized software, formulations and dosages can be tailored to the specific chemical profile of the feed water to maintain peak performance.

SANITER® Series

Biocides and Antibacterial Treatments
Biofouling is a common issue in membrane systems without proper disinfection. These treatments help suppress microbial growth and extend the time between cleanings, preserving the system’s efficiency.

PERMASOL® Series

Membrane Cleaners
When cleaning is required, these formulations effectively remove both organic and inorganic contaminants from membranes, restoring proper system functionality.

 

Post-Treatment

In cases where permeate water is used for consumption or sensitive applications, post-treatment is necessary to ensure proper mineral balance and pH adjustment.

MINERAL Series

Remineralization Solutions
Food-grade products designed to restore essential minerals and adjust pH levels, making desalinated water suitable for drinking or industrial use.
