REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO)

Reverse Osmosis is water purification technology that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove ions, chemicals, and larger particles by pushing water molecules through the membrane. Typically, this process uses a lot of energy and is not viable for small systems.

Arkwater® uses a variety of low pressure membranes to filter water to absolute purity to 0.0001 microns. It should be noted that Reverse Osmosis is highly inefficient, and up to 80% of water may end up as ‘waste’.

So no, it’s not for washing your car.

CHEMICAL REGULATION

After years of navigating the industry, we have learned to adapt to the different needs of various situations. Among other nasty substances, Arkwater® offers solutions for:

Flouride, Nitrate and Chlorine Reduction
Arsenic and other Heavy Metal Reduction
Nanoparticulate Control

Please do contact us with specific inquiries.

VIRUS STERILISATION

Ultraviolet sterilisation works by inactivating the RNA of viruses and bacteria present in water by briefly exposing it to UV light in the 200-310nm spectrum. It’s almost like science fiction, except it’s just science.

Arkwater® uses ultraviolet treatment units as an alternative way to treat water for specific applications. Ultraviolet treatment by itself does not render water completely safe for drinking purposes, and needs to be supported by other filters for maximum effectiveness.

MICRON STEPDOWN

From 1000 to 0.0001 microns, Arkwater® offers you the ability to customise a unique system that meets your exact needs for water filtration, while maximising cost and efficiency. Macrofiltration, Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration and RO – we’ve got it all. We just ask that you don’t ask us to draw water from sand.

But we do enjoy a challenge.

OZONE PURIFICATION

Ozone is a strong disinfectant with the ability to kill viruses and biological contaminants found in water. It can also oxidize some toxic metals in water to form insoluble oxides, aiding in their filtration and removal from water.

When utilized for water sterilization purposes, it immediately degrades back to oxygen leaving no trace unlike chlorination which may persist and require the need for additional filter media. How convenient is that?

Arkwater® uses USA-made ozone generators to perform point-of-use sterilisation for small scale applications.
