Reverse Osmosis in Industrial Wastewater Treatment Units

It is essential to know the sources of raw feed water for the industry in which industrial waste treatment is to be done, as it gives an initial idea of the nature of wastewater composition, or at least the general tendency. For example, if the wastewater results from raw water from wells, it is necessary to analyze wastewater for elements such as silica, iron, manganese, calcium, magnesium, barium, and strontium.

But if the raw water is surface fresh water, the big focus will be its organic load, silica, etc. Also, kind of water treatment techniques used in the utility section of the industry where it is possible to maximize its recovery or rearrange it to make it more suitable and reduce the waste resulting from it, or parts of it can be used to treat wastewater or mix portion of the pretreated industrial wastewater with feed water for some of its units.
