Why RO Dominates Global Water Purification?
1. Revolutionary Principle: Defying Nature’s Flow
In 1950, Dr. S. Sourirajan uncovered a secret in seagulls’ throats—a natural membrane allowing them to drink seawater. This inspired Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology. By applying pressure (2-10 MPa), RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane with 0.0001-micron pores (1/100 the size of a virus), trapping heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses to produce pure water.
✅ Unmatched Filtration Performance
- Removes >100 contaminants (lead, arsenic, pesticides)
- 95%-99.7% salt rejection rate; 82%-99.3% heavy metal removal efficiency
✅ Space-Proven Reliability
- Originated from NASA’s manned missions, now powers 70% of global desalination plants (2024 data)
✅ Smart & User-Friendly
- Self-adjusting pumps optimize wastewater ratio (3:1 vs. traditional 1:3)
- Filter life tracking via mobile apps prevents secondary pollution
3. Debunking Common RO Myths
❌ Myth: "RO water lacks minerals = unhealthy"
→ Fact: 90% of minerals come from food (e.g., 1 cup of milk = calcium in 1,200 cups of water). Minerals in water have extremely low bioavailability.
❌ Myth: "RO wastewater is useless"
→ Fact: Reject water has lower TDS than tap water—reuse for cleaning! Modern RO systems auto-flush membranes to extend lifespan.
