Hiki i ka Reverse Osmosis ke wehe a hiki i ka 99%+ o nā paʻakai i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia (ions), nā ʻāpana, colloids, organics, bacteria a me nā pyrogens mai ka wai hānai (ʻoiai ʻaʻole pono e hilinaʻi ʻia kahi ʻōnaehana RO e wehe i ka 100% o nā maʻi a me nā maʻi. ). Hōʻole ka membrane RO i nā mea haumia ma muli o ko lākou nui a me ka uku. ʻO kēlā me kēia mea haumia i ʻoi aku ke kaumaha o ka molekala ma mua o 200 e hōʻole ʻia e kahi ʻōnaehana RO holo pono (no ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i kahi mole wai he MW o 18). Pēlā nō, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka uku ionic o ka mea haumia, ʻoi aku ka hiki ʻole ke hele i ka membrane RO. No ka laʻana, hoʻokahi wale nō uku o ka ion sodium (monovalent) a ʻaʻole hōʻole ʻia e ka membrane RO a me ka calcium no ka laʻana, ʻelua mau uku. Pēlā nō, ʻo ia ke kumu e wehe ʻole ai kahi ʻōnaehana RO i nā kinoea e like me CO2 no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia (kau ʻia) i ka wā i hoʻonā ʻia a loaʻa ke kaumaha molekala haʻahaʻa loa. No ka mea, ʻaʻole wehe ka ʻōnaehana RO i nā kinoea, hiki i ka wai permeate ke haʻahaʻa iki ma mua o ka pae pH maʻamau ma muli o nā pae CO2 i loko o ka wai hānai e like me ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka CO2 i ka waikawa carbonic.

ʻO kā mākou ReverseOkānana wai smosis Hiki ke hoʻopilikino ʻia, nā kikoʻī like ʻole.
