摘要:
A reverse osmosis system that includes a housing having an inlet port, a permeate port and a concentrate port. The reverse osmosis system further includes a membrane element within the housing and (i) a first connector that has an end which is connected to the inlet port; (ii) a second connector that has an end which is connected to the permeate port; and (iii) a third connector that has an end which is connected to the concentrate port. The end of the first connector fits the inlet port but does not fit the permeate port or the concentrate port. The end of the second connector fits the permeate port but does not fit the inlet port or the concentrate port. The end of the third connector fits the concentrate port but does not fit the inlet port or the permeate port.
摘要:
A reverse osmosis system that includes a housing which receives feed water and a membrane element within the housing to filter the feed water. The membrane element includes a permeate outlet and a concentrate outlet. The reverse osmosis system further includes a sensor that monitors the condition of the water that exits from the membrane element. The reverse osmosis system further includes a first set of indicators that are located remotely from the housing. The first set of indicators showing a condition of the system based on data obtained from the sensor. The reverse osmosis system further includes a second set of indicators that are located near the housing to show a condition of the system based on data obtained from the sensor.

Some embodiments of the present invention relate to a reverse osmosis (RO) system that includes a housing and a pre-filter within the housing such that feed water flows into the housing and enters the pre-filter. The reverse osmosis (RO) system further includes a membrane element within the housing such that the pre-filtered water flows from the pre-filter and enters the membrane element and permeate exits the membrane element through the housing. In some embodiments, the housing includes a first end cap at one end and a second end cap at an opposing end such that feed water flows through the first end cap into the pre-filter and pre-filtered water flows from the pre-filter into the first end cap. In addition, the pre-filtered water may flow from the first end cap to the membrane element such that permeate exits the membrane element through the first end cap in order exit the housing.
摘要:
Many treatment systems remove virtually all minerals and other elements from the water, however a quantity of certain minerals and elements is necessary for good health and acceptable water taste. Therefore, a water treatment system is provided in which a portion of the input water bypasses the primary filtration and treatment components. The amount of that portion is selectively controlled so that a healthy level of minerals remains in the treated water, which still is extremely clean. An optional component can be included to reduce pathogens in the treated water.

The invention provides secondary sulfonamide polymers, wherein some, most, or all of the sulfonamido protons have been replaced with a substituent other than hydrogen. The invention also provides methods for preparing such polymers as well as devices (e.g. composite membranes) incorporating such membranes.

Sulfonamide polymer matrices and their various uses are disclosed. Among the uses is the configuration of the matrix with a porous support membrane to form a semipermeable membrane of the invention. The matrix of the invention is ultrathin, dense and substantially free of defects. The matrix configuration as the semipermeable membrane shows improved permeate flux and retention values.
