Reverse osmosis systems play a central part in water treatment. In industrial
applications, for example, reverse osmosis is used for purifying
process water, producing drinking water and desalinizing seawater or
for producing ultra pure or pharmaceutical water. In addition to these
processes, which aim at reducing the concentration of the substances
dissolved in the water, the beverage industry also uses reverse osmosis
systems for increasing concentrations, e.g. in the manufacture of fruit
juice concentrates or for concentrating the must in wine production.
