EPA Certified Lab Testing

Our chemical analysis is completed in a California and EPA-certified environmental laboratory. We take the guesswork out of water analysis. 

Routine water analyses on RO-critical systems assure your pretreatment is functioning properly. We assess and reassess throughout the process of the treatment program to make crucial adjustments.

Look Ahead with Pretreatment

Each industrial reverse osmosis operation is unique. This is also true with pretreatment plans. Pretreatment is essential to an effective and lasting RO operation. 

Protect your RO system against organic fouling, mineral scaling, and chemical degradation, with these pretreatment steps:

1. Expand your membrane life with metal precipitants and conditioners. 
2. Remove suspended solids, particulates, metals, and organics with filtration techniques.
3. Calibrate for correct prefiltration with particle size analyses.
4. Remove chlorine with bisulfite and carbon filtration.
5. Add appropriate in-line treatments. 

Monitoring protocols and pretreatment reduces the need for cleaning, increases membrane life up to 5 years or longer, and maximizes your overall RO operation.
