Introducing FLUX VR Series RO System

A robust, vertical RO unit available in 1 to 10 gpm capacity. US Water Engineering & Equipment's reverse osmosis (RO) units are designed to be the most robust and reliable machines in the industry. The FLUX VR Series RO systems are carefully designed by our industry leading engineering team to ensure pre-engineered platforms meet the quality and performance standards our customers have grown to expect.

Unlike competitor RO lines in this flow rate, the FLUX VR Series (1-10gpm) utilizes a simple microprocessor control that has few parts and dramatically minimizes control issues. The FLUX VR Series is easy to install and program, making start-up simple and cost-effective. This system is great for applications that have pre-treatment for pressure boiler systems, pre-treatment for serviceable deionization (SDI) systems, commercial and light industrial plants, fuel and chemical use conscious applications and applications looking to reduce their carbon footprint with a sustainable equipment solution. The FLUX VR Series RO features:

• Heavy duty frame ensuring durability for the life of the system
• Stainless steel high pressure piping for corrosion resistance and superior strength
• Utilizes standard membranes resulting in increased permeate quality
• Lower flux rates leads to lower fouling and longer membrane life, ultimately resulting in lower maintenance costs
• Easy and accurate recovery and recycle rate adjustment allowing effortless control to achieve desired system flow rates
• Epoxy painted for handling tough, corrosive plant environments
• Industrial grade stainless steel high pressure pump ensures years of trouble free operation

Preventing Scale Formation in Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
by Wes Byrne, US Water Services

Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems behave similar to a boiler or a cooling tower in that they cause the dissolved salts in their makeup water to become more concentrated. As pure water permeates the RO membrane, the salts are left behind in a concentrated stream. If the solubility of any particular salt is exceeded, the potential exists that the salt will form a scale directly on the membrane surface or possibly within the flow channels through the membrane element.

This scale formation will occur first in the tail end of the RO system, within the last elements through which the water flows before exiting the system in its concentrate stream. The scale will cause the RO system to require increased pressure to achieve the same permeate flow rate, and the permeate conductivity may increase in the tail end of the system...
