HIROX® (High Recovery Reverse Osmosis) combines our CIF® (Continuous Ionic Filtration) technology with reverse osmosis (RO) to provide a highly effective water treatment process. HIROX® uses ion exchange to remove di- and tri-valent cations such as calcium, magnesium and heavy metals from waste waters, while simultaneously filtering suspended solids if required.
These ions are primarily responsible for the precipitation (scaling) that occurs on the RO membranes when operating at high recoveries. With this scaling potential removed, the RO process can be more efficient with higher recoveries, resulting in lower waste brine volumes.
