RO Membrane Technology;
In the reverse osmosis system the water passes through the pores on membranes by means of high pressure. The majority of the materials in water cannot pass through these pores during this procedure and the water is drained as concentrated water. With this procedure, better water quality can be achieved than through filtration systems. The frames of reverse osmosis systems can be made of stainless or epoxy-protected carbon steel. With reverse osmosis membranes all dissolved brine, inorganic molecules and organic molecules with high molecular weight are eliminated. You can obtain purified water from various raw water sources (wells, sea, rivers, etc.) by performing a filtration of the water’s molecular structure at a rate of 90-99.5%. A.O.

Side Stream R.O. Membrane Technology ;
Side Stream R.O. Membrane Technology is a special innovation by I.G.T . Side Stream R.O. Membrane use patented MLSB Screw-type Technology.
MLSB (multi-leaves single-bag) membrane has vertical inflow and concentrate water direction; longer and narrower inflow passage thus app. 2,8 times higher surface flow rate. Higher flow rate can reinforce the effect of surface flush, of R.O. membrane, reduce the rate of concentration polarization, blockage, scale formation, waste water discharge, and increase the salt rejection rate.
The Side Stream R.O. membrane increases the recovery rate to around 50%, compared to 25% for the regular residential R.O. membrane, and waste water volume is reduced by 56%.
Combined with MLSB Screw-type Technology, Side Stream R.O. Membrane creates the world’s highest utilization rate for residential membranes, reaching 85-90% compared to only 70% for traditional membranes.
With patented full flush function, it completely solves the traditional water purifier problem of having no way for the concentrate water to flush out of the membrane when the tank is full, leading to membrane scale and pollution problems. The optimal flushing design reduces flushing discharge by 50% and extends the service life of the membrane by 1,5 times.
