Reverse Osmosis in Use

Drinking water purification
In July 2002, Singapore announced that a process named NEWater would be a significant part of its future water plans. It involves using reverse osmosis to treat domestic wastewater before discharging the NEWater back into the reservoirs.

In the United States, household drinking water filtration systems, including a reverse osmosis step, are commonly used for improving water for drinking and cooking. Such systems typically include four or five stages:

* A sediment filter to trap particles including rust and calcium carbonate.
* Optionally a second sediment filter with smaller pores.
* A carbon filter to trap organic chemicals and chlorination.
* A reverse osmosis filter with a thin film composite membrane. (TFM or TFC)
* Optionally a second carbon filter.
In some systems, the carbon pre-filter is omitted and cellulose triacetate membrane (CTA) is used. The CTA membrane is prone to rotting unless protected by the chlorinated water, while the TFC membrane is prone to breaking down under the influence of chlorine. In CTA systems, a carbon post-filter is needed to eliminate the chlorine.

Application of RO in Food Industry:
Other than desalination, reverse osmosis is a more economical unit opearation for concentrating food liquids i.e. fruit juices. Researches are done on concentration of orange juice and tomato juice. Its advantages including a low operating cost and not involving heat processes, which makes it suitable for heat-labile substances like protein and enzymes as well as for human health.

Maple Syrup Production:
Starting in the 1970s, some maple syrup producers started using reverse osmosis to remove water from sap before being further boiled down to syrup. The use of reverse osmosis allows approximately 75 to 80 percent of the water to be removed from the sap.
