Reverse Osmosis System Skid
Cartridge Filter
A cartridge filter removes particles and some chemicals from feedwater. By removing these particulates from the feedwater the cartridge filter is protecting the reverse osmosis (RO) membranes.
High Efficiency Booster Pump w/ VFD
Energy-Efficient, multi-stage booster pumps mounted on a heavy-duty frame with a variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to vary the motor input based on demand.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes
Aqua-Chem’s range of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems are the result of decades of experience engineering complete water rooms to create the most efficient and sustainable systems to produce purified ingredient water for the beverage industry. Aqua-Chem Reverse Osmosis Systems are highly customizable utilizing a wide range of membranes from a variety of suppliers.
RO Permeate
Reverse Osmosis permeate is the product or 'clean' water that a system of RO membranes creates from feedwater.
RO Concentrate
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Concentrate is the 'dirty' water and impurities that are rejected by the reverse osmosis system.
Quality Divert Valve
The quality divert valve allows control during the cleaning process and allows for the flow to be diverted away from the permeate storage tank and then switched back again after the cleaning process has completed.
