Why Do You Need to Size an Industrial Reverse Osmosis System?
Industrial reverse osmosis systems can process a broad range of volumes, but you must have the proper capacity for the industrial RO used. Factors involved include:
- Reverse osmosis desired gallons/day (gpd)
- Reverse osmosis water forwarding pump size (gpm)

Why does industrial RO sizing matter? Industrial reverse osmosis (RO) is a highly effective water treatment process designed to remove up to 99% of dissolved mineral salts, organics, and other particles. It achieves this by forcing water under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane. In an industrial RO system, pressure is applied to a high concentration solution using a pump, driving water through the membrane. The resulting purified water is known as product water. Dissolved solids are unable to pass through the membrane and are continuously flushed away as waste. This flushing action also prevents the membrane surface from fouling or scaling. Given all of this, an RO system cannot be undersized because it not provide the desired purity. If it is oversized, it could waste energy, materials, and water.
