1.1 General Description
CAUTION:
When used as a medical device, Federal law restricts this device to sale
by or on the order of a physician, per 21 CFR 801.109 (b).
Your Mar Cor Purification 23G reverse osmosis machine is a durable
piece of equipment which, with proper care, will last for many years.
These instructions give operating and maintenance details vital to the
sustained performance of the machine.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the separation of one component of a solution
from another component by means of pressure exerted on a
semipermeable membrane. In other words, reversing the natural passage
of a liquid from a concentrate solution to a more dilute solution by using
external pressure. Removal of ionic, organic, and suspended/dissolved
impurities occurs during the RO process. Unlike a filter, which separates
by “normal” filtration, the membrane element separates using a process
called cross-flow filtration. Feedwater solution is separated into two
streams, permeate and concentrate, and collected from both sides of the
membrane. A semipermeable RO membrane, under sufficient pressure,
allows passage of purified water while rejecting and concentrating
dissolved and suspended solids.
Mar Cor Purification manufactures a spiral-wound membrane package,
with turbulent flow design. This membrane element module collects the
purified water within a central tube (permeate tube), as represented in
Figure 1.1.
