Explain,
1.where does water industry apply I.R.4.0 and
2.the challenge of water industry
Use of RO water or industries application of RO water are the following
Waste RO water can be used to wash off utensils because salt content in it does not let left food get stick to utensil.
Reverse osmosis is a highly economical and efficient way of obtaining drinking water from sea through desalination. Other methods like distillation are highly energy intensive, for desalination.
The membrane is a non-chemical, non-residue leaving, physical process of removal of contaminants from water. The removal of contaminants is dependent on the size of the pores in the RO membrane. Because of its very small size (of the order of 0.001 microns) the membrane is capable of removing practically everything from water, giving highly purified water. This water could also be used for surgical and pharmaceutical purposes.
