Background
It was envisaged that even after the fifth Desal unit, the
Growing Demand of process and horticulture will not be
met.
The purpose of the RO project was to increase the
availability of Good quality water which can be used for
horticulture purpose or/and make up to cooling towers.

Why HERO???
At RIL, treated effluent rich in BOD, COD, O&G etc, the RO membrane system
will lead to frequent fouling due to biological compounds.
In presence of these impurities, a conventional RO will lead to frequent fouling,
reduction in overall production time and reduction in membrane life.
Considering the same, M/S Aquatech offered their patented technology called
HERO High Efficiency Reverse Osmosis.

Micron Filter:
Preconditioned water passes through cartridge filters, which is a
safeguard against media breakthrough in the preceding units.
HERO Block :
The cartridge filters is followed by the HERO equipment. The high
recoveries are achieved in a 2 stage HERO block and hence recovered
in a permeate tank.
The final reject stream is suitably disposed with other high TDS wastes.
