1. Desalination rate and salt permeability of reverse osmosis membrane

Salt permeability = product water concentration / influent water concentration × 100%

Desalination rate = (1-salt content of product water / salt content of influent water) × 100%

Salt penetration rate = 100%-desalination rate

The desalination rate of the membrane element is determined when it is manufactured and formed. The desalination rate depends on the density of the ultra-thin desalination layer on the surface of the membrane element. The denser the desalination layer, the higher the desalination rate and the lower the water production.

The desalination rate of different substances by reverse osmosis is mainly determined by the structure and molecular weight of the substance. The desalination rate of high-valent ions and complex monovalent ions can exceed 99%, and the desalination rate of monovalent ions such as sodium ions, potassium ions, and chloride ions is slightly lower. , But it also exceeds 98%; the removal rate of organics with a molecular weight greater than 100 can also exceed 98%, but the removal rate of organics with a molecular weight of less than 100 is low.

2. Water production of reverse osmosis membrane

Water production-refers to the water production capacity of the reverse osmosis system, that is, the amount of water permeating the membrane per unit time, usually expressed in tons/hour or gallons/day.

Permeation flow rate-is also an important indicator of the water production of reverse osmosis membrane elements. Refers to the flow rate of permeate per unit membrane area, usually expressed in gallons per square foot per day (GFD). Too high permeate flow rate will cause the water velocity perpendicular to the membrane surface to increase, which will aggravate membrane fouling.

3. Recovery rate of reverse osmosis membrane

Recovery rate-refers to the percentage of feed water converted into product water or permeate in the membrane system. Depends on the pretreatment influent water quality and water requirements. The recovery rate of the membrane system has been determined at the time of design,

Recovery rate = (product water flow/influent flow) × 100%

For large RO systems, the recovery rate is usually limited by the tendency of insoluble salt to foul, that is, by the maximum concentration of concentrated water; for small RO systems, the recovery rate is usually less than 30% to 50%. When the recovery rate is low, the RO device can operate safely without controlling the solubility of insoluble salts. Cost is usually not a priority for small RO systems.

When you're exploring, traveling, or doing other activities in the outdoors, it's important that your drinking water is safe. Sometimes when you are in the wilderness, you may only have natural water sources such as rivers, and there are many risks associated with drinking river water directly, such as the possibility of bacteria, viruses, parasites and various impurities in the water. At this point, water purification cups, large-capacity outdoor water cups and water purification jugs with filtration functions become a powerful assistant to ensure safe drinking water.

Water purifiers play an increasingly important role in our lives, especially in the food and beverage sector. A quality under-kitchen water purifier is not only about the quality of our drinking water, but also about the comfort and health protection of our daily lives. However, how can you ensure that the water purifier you buy performs up to standard and really works to purify water? Next, we will explore the detailed under the kitchen water purifier test method.

Purchased a water purifier, most people are aware of the water purifier is required to regularly replace the cartridge and maintenance, although it is very troublesome, but in order to be able to better play the role of the water purifier and responsible for their own health, these procedures are unavoidable.
But Susan heard that some people in the replacement of the water purifier cartridge, the water purifier is not even out of the water!!!! Is this a malfunction of the water purifier? Or because the new cartridge has a problem?

In today's era, water resources are becoming more and more scarce, and people's cherishing of water for living has reached an unprecedented height. As an important device to guard the family drinking safety, water purifier plays an indispensable role. However, many users in the actual use of the water purifier is not found as expected, “saving water”. What exactly is the reason for this phenomenon? How can we ensure safe drinking at the same time, the purification process to minimize waste?
