	Power and Industrial Processing Reverse Osmosis water is widely used in industrial environments such as chemical processing, metal finishing, power, textiles, as well as pulp and paper. Examples of applications are dye desalting, electro-deposition paint ultra filtration, pulp bleaching and boiler feed water purification for power generation. Industrial seawater R.O system provides high-purity water for combustion turbine power plants.
	Portable Water Water treatment equipment purifies and softens potable water for municipalities, commercial and residential applications around the world. It helps resorts desalinate seawater for drinking, car washes provide spot-free rinse water, aquariums and water parks achieve chemical-free disinfection. Resorts and hotels around the world, such as the Hyatt Regency, Grand Cayman Islands, rely on high-efficiency seawater reverse osmosis system for portable and irrigation water
	Health Care / Pharmaceutical R.O. system provide pure water for hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, as well as the ultra pure water necessary for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
	Food Food manufacturers of soft drinks, beers, wines, teas, juices, and bottled water rely on reverse osmosis technology for water purification, microbe and trihalomethane (THM) reduction and haze clarification. Membrane products are also widely used in food and dairy processing for wheat separation, and clarification and concentration of syrups and amino acids.
	Electronics Manufacturing Semiconductor and printed circuit board manufacturing require ultra pure water and chemicals during virtually every single stage of production. Many industry-leading electronics manufacturers utilise valves, membranes, pumps, filters, instruments and other components to help supply ultra pure water and chemical transport
	Domestics Applications Water needs at home cannot be effectively addressed with a run-of the-mill systems. In fact, most of these �off-the-shelf� systems don�t come close to the exacting standards. Reverse osmosis water purification systems can be designed and installed in one central system to supply your household with fresh, clean water for drinking needs or any other uses such as: Fully conditioned water for sinks, showers, tubs, laundry and dish-washers High quality bottled water for your kitchen, ice makers, wet bars, bathrooms and humidifiers The best time to install is during the construction or remodeling phase of your home. Water lines can then easily be installed behind the drywall and out of sight.
	Compact Systems Containerized units provide water for use at construction sites as well as drinking water.
