Drinking water treatment:
Deep purification: It can remove dissolved solids, microorganisms, organic pollutants, drug residues, and endocrine disruptors from water, providing almost pure water without impurities and meeting the safety requirements of high standard drinking water.
Desalination and softening: In hard water areas, it can reduce minerals such as calcium and magnesium in water, soften water quality, reduce scale formation, and improve the taste of drinking water.
Home and community applications: From household water purifiers to community centralized water supply systems, they are widely used to improve the quality of daily drinking water for residents.
Bottled water and direct drinking water system: Ensure that the water quality of products meets high standards in bottled water production and direct drinking water supply in public places.
Industrial wastewater treatment:
Power industry: can be used for seawater desalination to reduce hydrogen production costs.
Petrochemical industry: used for refining wastewater treatment to improve wastewater recovery rate.
Steel industry: used for wastewater treatment to reduce water resource consumption and impact on the ecological environment.
Industries with high pollution such as electronics and pharmaceuticals: The penetration rate of RO systems continues to increase, enabling targeted treatment of different types of industrial wastewater, achieving water quality improvement, removing pollutants such as oil, surfactants, and harmful heavy metal ions from wastewater, and ensuring that wastewater discharge meets standards.
Advanced treatment of urban sewage:
Reclaimed water reuse: Through RO membrane technology, domestic sewage is treated to obtain regenerated water that meets the requirements, improving water resource utilization efficiency. It has broad application prospects in public places such as residential buildings, schools, hospitals, and shopping malls.
Improving water quality: RO membranes made of different materials have different effects in the deep treatment of urban sewage. For example, cellulose triacetate hollow fiber membranes, spiral wound polyvinyl alcohol composite membranes, etc. have high retention rates for fecal coliforms, low chromaticity, high water flux, and strong anti pollution ability.
Desalination of seawater: RO membrane has the characteristics of high desalination rate, efficient water production, and energy conservation and environmental protection. It plays a key role in the desalination process and provides important technical support for solving the problem of water shortage. It can effectively remove salt from seawater and obtain fresh water that meets the requirements of domestic and production water.
Desalination of brackish water: It can effectively inhibit inorganic salt ions such as magnesium and calcium ions in brackish water, enhancing the quality of purified water. When using a reverse osmosis device for desalination of brackish water, the desalination rate remains stable at over 96%, and the desalinated water quality meets China’s drinking water standards.
In terms of market size, the market size of China’s RO system is expected to exceed 45 billion yuan by 2025, and may reach over 65 billion yuan by 2030. The industrial sector is the main application market for RO membranes, with an expected market share of around 65% by 2030. The civilian and municipal sectors have benefited from the increase in urbanization rate and the promotion of rural drinking water safety projects, and their market share is also constantly increasing.
