Osmonics is committed to helping industrial, institutional and commercial customers worldwide ensure fluid purity in their products and processes. Founded in 1969, we pioneered the commercial development of reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration technologies. Since then, we have steadily expanded our ability to manufacture

reEQUIPMENT

k/F = OSIV

Reverse osmosis (RO), also called hyperfiltration, is capable of the highest filtration level possible, including separating dissolved salts and removing bacteria, pyrogens and organics from water. Osmonics manufactures all the major components of our RO equipment, making us uniquely able to provide complete, high-quality, standardized RO machines or custom-engineered systems for high-purity requirements. Cellulosic, polyamide and specialty polymer membranes are available in many varieties and configurations to meet a wide range of purification applications.

NANO-,L.4

Nanofiltration (NF) equipment from Osmonics removes particles in the 300-1000 molecular weight range, rejecting selected salts, most organics and passing more water at lower pressure operation than RO systems. Nanofiltration economically softens water without the pollution of salt-regenerated systems and provides unique organics desalting capabilities. All equipment features the same proven hardware and components used in Osmonics RO machines.

membranes, products and equipment to meet any fluid purification, separation or handling requirement.

Today, Osmonics offers a breadth of products and service that is among the widest available from one company in the filtration, purification and fluid handling industry.

!LT TRATION Osmonics designs and manufactures large and small ultrafiltration (UF) equipment in standard and custom configurations. Over 20 UF membranes produced by Osmonics provide filtration in the 0.0015 to 0.1 micron (1000 MW to colloidal) range. The feed fluid can be precisely fractionated, making UF ideal for fluid separations, industrial processes and as pretreatment or post-treatment for ultrapure water systems.

MICROFIL 1 ixf-trION Osmonics manufactures microfiltration (MF) membrane and equipment for demanding fluid separation and purification applications such as biotechnology and research. MF removes particles in the range of 0.05 micron to 2 microns in diameter. Solutions pass directly through the MF membrane in normal flow, or are separated into two effluent streams in a longer-lasting crossflow mode.

*Machines are available with RO, NF, UF or MF membrane. Feature rugged skid and frame with patented Osmonics stainless steel sepralator housings, TONKAFLO multi-stage centrifugal pumps and patented flow design. Optional

'OMATOGF Osmonics offers a range of chromatography equipment and resins. Chromatography enables the selective separation, concentration or purification of industrial and pharmaceutical compounds. A mixture of components is introduced into a column of suitable media which preferentially adsorbs the desired component. The target component is collected from the column via an elution rinse step that is closely monitored to ensure highest purity.
