1. Product introduction of reverse osmosis element membrane

As we all know,reverse osmosis element membrane is the main component to complete reverse osmosis. It is an artificial semi-permeable membrane with certain characteristics made by simulating a semi-permeable microbial membrane. Its membrane diameter is very small and can effectively remove dissolved acid salts, colloidal solutions, and Microbial strains, organic compounds, etc., so reverse osmosis membranes are likely to cause fouling problems during the entire process of long-term use.

2.The solution to the scaling problem of reverse osmosis element membrane

(1). Softening is to use the ion exchange method to exchange the epoxy resin with the calcium and magnesium low-temperature plasma in the water to remove the calcium and magnesium ions in the water. The softening feature is that it can also well remove calcium and magnesium ions in the water and prevent this positive ions from scaling in the reverse osmosis membrane 3. The disadvantage is that the investment in mechanical equipment is large and must be rebuilt after a certain period of operation.

(2). Adding a scale inhibitor can slow down the development of salt crystallization and delay the entire deposition process. Choosing this method can also avoid the scale environmental pollution of reverse osmosis element membrane. However, since calcium and magnesium ions are still ubiquitous in water, the calcium and magnesium ions in the reverse osmosis effluent will be softer than the application, and the method of dosing and anti-scaling is easier to achieve mechanical automation, and the equipment is simple and the cost is lower. In addition, the use of scale inhibitors can reduce silicon deposition, but softening cannot. This is especially suitable for the solution of surface water resources.

Because the thickness of membrane in ro plant is about 10 mm, the large particles in the raw water can easily scratch the desalination skin on the surface of membrane in ro plant or penetrate the reverse osmosis membrane components after the high-pressure pump accelerates, so it is generally used in ro membrane filter before, it is necessary to install 5μm pretreatment equipment to remove residual suspended solids, non-straight-curved particles and colloidal solutions in the influent water, so that the operation of mechanical equipment is safer and more reliable.
