HYDRO MOS®

Reverse Osmosis Unit

Type: 30 – 850 D

Application
HYDRO MOS® reverse osmosis unit used for
environmental friendly desalination of cold drinking and
industrial water, well water, boiler water, process water,
cooling water and climatic water

Process
HYDRO MOS® reverse osmosis units equipped and
working with semi-permeable membranes allowing the
water ((H2o) to penetrate the pores but not allowing
dissolved materials (ions) to penetrate.

If a salt solution and clear water are separated by a

membrane (semi-permeable), clear water penetrates
the membrane without any influence of exterior forces
and gets to the salt solution, whereby it is diluted.

Such process known from nature is called osmosis

(metabolism of cells). The process is stopped once the
osmotic pressure of the corresponding solution is
reached – an osmotic balance is given.

If the sequence is reversed by applying pressure on the Advantage of reverse osmosis technology compared with
higher concentrated solution, clear water penetrates other water treatment systems
the membrane in reverse direction after the osmotic
pressure has been overcome. Dissolved salt is  Removal of dissolved salts
retained. Such process is called reverse osmosis.
 Removal of bacteria and germs
