High efficiency reverse osmosis (HERO) is a reverse osmosis technology designed to treat high silica and difficult-to-treat feed wastewater. By effectively preventing membrane fouling or scaling, the HERO process offers higher recoveries as well as significant operational benefits.
The process excels in treating cooling tower blowdown, outperforming conventional reverse osmosis. HERO can also economically replace or supplement an evaporation process to achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD).
HERO technology is designed to achieve a high water recovery rate (>90%), enabling a significant percentage of the feedwater to be converted into purified water.
HERO technology is capable of efficiently removing salts and other impurities from water, resulting in a high salt rejection sa
HERO technology is known for its high flux, which refers to the rate at which water permeates through the membrane.
Hero technology is designed to minimize fouling, which helps maintain consistent performance and reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance.
Besides having technical superiority over conventional reverse osmosis, the HERO process offers significant economic advantages.
