Reverse osmosis water treatment is a solution that eliminate ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking water under the action of a semi-permeable membrane. The operating principle of this solution is to force water through the membrane under pressure, allowing only clean and pure water to pass while blocking the passage of pollutants. Reverse osmosis is commonly used in residential and commercial settings to provide clean and pure drinking water.

Hazards of foam for reverse osmosis water treatment.

The use of foam in reverse osmosis water treatment can cause a number of potential problems. Foam will block the membrane, reduce system efficiency and enlarge operating costs. It can also degrade the quality of treated water by carrying additional pollutants such as bacteria and other microorganisms. Additionally, the operation of pumps and other equipment used in the reverse osmosis system will also be disturbed by foam.

Benefits of defoamers for reverse osmosis water treatment.

Antifoaming agents are essential chemicals for reverse osmosis water treatment as they help decrease the amount of foam produced during the filtration process. As mentioned above, foam can disturb the effectiveness of the system and can cause a series of problems such as clogged filters and decreased water flow. Rickman's defoamer has fast defoaming and long-lasting foam inhibition performance, which can easily avoid these problems, and the system will be able to operate more efficiently. In addition, defoamer agent also helps decrease scale on the membrane, thereby helping to extend the life of the semi-permeable membrane.
