The RO system is a technology that involves the pressurization of seawater or wastewater over an RO membrane to remove salts (such as NaCl) and impurities.
Key Points:
- The RO system is a technology that involves the pressurization of seawater or wastewater over an RO membrane to remove salts (such as NaCl) and impurities.
- Nippon Shokubai and Trevi Systems developed the draw solution to be separated from the recovered water using low grade thermal heat (Photo 1).
- This developed draw solution was used in the demonstration pilot plant (500m3/day) operated by Trevi Systems on the islands of Hawaii (*2).
- About NIPPON SHOKUBAI CO., LTD.: Nippon Shokubai utilizes the unique technology to manufacture chemicals such as ethylene oxide, acrylic acids, catalysts, superabsorbent polymers.
