ImpactRO

The WaterSurplus ImpactRO is a steady-state, high recovery reverse osmosis (RO) platform engineered to maintain stable permeate quality under variable feedwater conditions. It is available in 40 GPM to 900 GPM skids. In operational environments, ImpactRO is designed to support recoveries that approach the upper limits of RO process feasibility, while reducing fouling-related interventions and unplanned downtime by as much as 75%. The resulting reduction in chemical cleanings and hydraulic stress can extend membrane service life by up to a factor of two, contributing to improved reliability and lower lifecycle operating costs. Intelligent Interventions: NanoStack Coated Membranes NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certified hydrophilic coating provides exceptional resistance to scaling and fouling while enhancing cleanability, permeate quality, and long-term membrane durability, and can be applied to any polymeric membrane element. (See separate datasheet.) NanoScope Direct Membrane Monitor High-resolution performance monitoring with predictive analytics enables operators to track RO performance at previously imperceptible levels to predict, prevent, and reverse membrane fouling. Feed-Forward Design Advanced flow balancing distributes flux more evenly across all RO stages—reducing first-stage fouling and third-stage scaling—to support higher recovery and electrical efficiency. Micro-Disruptions Intermittent bursts of water that clean membranes online during operation by disrupting the concentration polarization layer in the third stage. Intermittent Variable Recovery Dynamic recovery control adjusts system recovery in response to changing feedwater conditions, optimizing performance over time and reducing the risk of major fouling events. Single-Point Parallel CIP Simplified offline cleaning allows the operator to clean all stages of the RO at once or to clean each stage independently.
