RO Plant Pre-treatment

Media, carbon and consumables that protect reverse osmosis membranes.

The problem

RO membranes are the most expensive consumable in a treatment plant, and most premature failures trace back to poor pre-treatment: suspended solids, chlorine, iron or organics reaching the membranes.

What the treatment needs

A properly maintained pre-treatment train — multi-grade filter, activated carbon filter, iron removal where needed — with media refreshed on schedule.

Typical industries

  • Industrial RO plants
  • Drinking water projects
  • Food & beverage
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Power plants

Practical considerations

• SDI at the RO inlet is the best indicator of pre-treatment health — rising SDI usually means media needs attention.

• Replace carbon before chlorine breakthrough, not after membrane damage shows up.
