Here is a complete overview of the main areas of application for industrial and semi-industrial reverse osmosis systems, divided by sector and function:
Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sector
- Production of ultrapure water for injectable preparations, sterile solutions, and surgical instrument washing.
- Analysis and scientific research laboratories, where salt- and contaminant-free water is required.
- Dialysis: systems dedicated to the production of water for hemodialysis.
Food and Beverage Sector
- Mineral water and soft drink bottling industries.
- Food production: bakeries, pasta factories, dairies, breweries, where water affects taste and quality.
- Cleaning and sterilization of containers, surfaces, and systems.
Cosmetics and Chemical Sector
- Formulation of creams, shampoos, detergents, and other products requiring demineralized water.
- Quality control and dilution of active ingredients.
- Cleaning of reactors and mixers with residue-free water.
Industrial and Technology Sector
- Electroplating and metallurgy: to prevent deposits and corrosion.
- Production of electronic circuits and semiconductors.
- Wastewater treatment and industrial recycling.
Ho.Re.Ca. Sector (Hotels, Restaurants, Catering)
- Industrial kitchens: to improve the quality of water used for cooking and washing.
- Professional laundries: to prevent limescale residues on fabrics.
- Coffee machines and vending machines: to preserve aroma and shelf life.
Civil and Public Sector
- Aqueducts and municipal systems: for water purification.
- Schools, hospitals, barracks: to ensure safe and controlled water.
- Treatment of marine or brackish water in coastal areas or islands.
Agriculture and Horticulture Sector
- Irrigation of greenhouses and sensitive crops (e.g., hydroponics).
- Preparation of liquid fertilizers with salt-free water.
- Livestock: to ensure safe water for animals.
