Desalination
 
 

Reverse OsmosisReverse Osmosis (RO) is a proven, effective method for desalination of brackish water and seawater, and for treatment of waste effluents. Thousands of EMCO RO plants are now being used world wide to produce potable water in municipalities and private systems, process water in industry, and boiler feed water in steam generating plants as well as water for large range special applications. Today EMCO offers the broadest line of custom and pre-engineered Reverse Osmosis, Ultrafiltration and Microfiltration Systems.

Pre-Treatment Cartridge FiltersSince the early 1970's EMCO has supplied RO systems, including filters, softeners, chemical feeders, decarbonators, RO cleaning skids, Ion exchange, Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration units for the critical areas of RO pretreatment, RO cleanup, and RO post treatment, as shown per figure 2.

Custom Design Large Capacity RO'sEMCO systems have been supplied to industries in the electronics, pharmaceutical, refineries, chemical, metal finishing, food & beverage, power generating, pulp and paper, textiles, general industries, as well as potable water for municipalities, resorts, camps, and oil drilling sites. EMCO'S total system approach and broad technology base, permit the evaluation of various processing techniques, technologies up-to-date instrumentation and PLC controls. The result is a quality, cost effective system which is tailored to clients specific needs and requirements.

MembranesEMCO pre-engineered and custom designed RO systems, use RO membranes produced in flat sheet spiral wound elements and in bundle hollow fine fiber permeators. The spiral wound elements are installed in series in pressure vessels up to 23 ft 4 inch long, while the hollow fibers bundle fit in one pressure vessels called the permeator. Several major factors are evaluated by EMCO'S engineers when determining the membrane selection of materials and configuration which is most suited for the particular applications.

Pre-Engineered RO's EMCO RO systems can use a variety of commercially available spiral wound elements Cellulose. Ace Acetate (CA) or Thin Film Composite (TFC), or hollow fiber membranes for brackish, seawater, and waste applications.

EMCO has emerged as a "worldwide leader" in the supply of major custom systems.

EMCO also offers a standard "Predesigned" series of water treatment Systems.
