Osmotic Pressure - Reverse Osmosis

Advanced Reverse Osmosis Technology

Osmotic Pressure - Is the pressure required to prevent the flow of water across a semipermeable membrane separating two solutions having different ionic strengths. For RO systems it is osmotic pressure that has to be overcome in order to produce permeate. A “rule of thumb” is for every 100 mg/L of TDS difference between feed and permeate, 1 psi of osmotic pressure exists.
