Aquabio's reverse osmosis systems provide demineralised water reuse for industrial settings, working downstream of their AMBR membrane bioreactor technologies. Two system variants are available to suit different operational requirements.

ROne™

Aquabio's advanced RO system, designed for maximum flexibility and efficiency. By incorporating a variable speed reject recirculation pump, a portion of the concentrate stream is recirculated back through the system, achieving water recovery of up to 95%. This configuration adapts to variable feed flows and changing process conditions, maintaining consistent recovery without unnecessary on/off cycling, resulting in continuous stable operation and minimal downtime.

Conventional RO

Multi-stage concentrate staging configuration and has been the backbone of Aquabio's water reuse offering since their first installation in 2001. Suited to applications requiring higher permeate quality, a lower degree of recovery, flexibility in operation or where a lower capital cost is a priority.

Key features

  • Water recovery up to 95% (ROne™) via reject recirculation, versus typically up to 75% on conventional RO

  • Variable speed control adapts to changing feed flows, optimising energy use and preventing unnecessary on/off cycles

  • Compact, modular design supports easy installation and future capacity upgrades

  • Automated operation with permanent cleaning system — all required valves and pipework included — to minimise downtime

  • Optional pH control, remineralisation, temperature adjustment, and residual disinfection

  • Complies with UK Private Water Supply Regulations 2016 for potable water reuse

  • Standardised RO skid for rapid procurement and integration with upstream and downstream equipment

Applications

  • Boiler feed water reuse,

  • CIP (clean-in-place) water reuse

  • Potable water reuse for food washing

  • Complete factory water supply

Technical support

After sales and support, design and project delivery, and plant operation services are available across both systems.
