Industrial Reverse osmosis is a water purification technology that uses a semi permeable membrane to remove larger particles from drinking water. In reverse osmosis, an applied pressure is used to overcome osmotic pressure, which is driven by chemical potential.
Industrial Reverse osmosis is a process in which dissolved inorganic solids (such as salts) are removed from a solution (such as water). This is accomplished by water pressure pushing the tap water through a semi permeable membrane. The membrane allows only the water to pass through, not the impurities or contaminates. These impurities and contaminates are flushed down the drain.
