Reverse osmosis and Zeolite filter media
Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process that uses a membrane to remove contaminants from water.
It applies pressure to water on one side of a semi-permeable membrane, allowing the water molecules to pass through the membrane while blocking larger contaminants.
Reverse osmosis is often used to purify water for drinking or other purposes, as it can remove a wide range of contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, and chemicals.
It effectively removes impurities too small to be removed by other treatment methods, such as sand filtration or coagulation.
Here is a step-by-step explanation of how reverse osmosis works:
- The water to be treated is passed through a filter to remove large particles and debris.
- The water is then pressurized and passed through a semi-permeable membrane.
- The water molecules pass through the membrane, while the membrane blocks larger contaminants.
- The purified water is collected on the other side of the membrane, while the contaminants are discarded as wastewater.
- The purified water may be treated with a disinfectant, such as chlorine or UV light, to kill any remaining bacteria or viruses.
Adding a zeolite filter media will be a solution you need to consider to reduce costs, the use of external chemicals, energy, and wastewater.
This is where Zeomedia takes action inn the game.
Zeolites are minerals that have a porous structure and a high surface area, which makes them useful for a variety of applications, including water treatment. In water treatment, zeolites can be used in several ways, including:
- Ion exchange: Zeolites can remove ions, such as calcium and magnesium, from water through ion exchange. This can be useful for softening hard water.
- Adsorption: Zeolites can be used to remove contaminants from water through adsorption, which is the process of capturing pollutants on the surface of the zeolite.
- Filtration: Zeolites can be used as a filter media to remove contaminants from water.
Zeomedia is zeolite-based filter media that improves the water treatment process in some many levels, here is a list of why Zeomedia is the filter media for you:
- Retaining particles range from 1 micron to 5 microns, covering most solid particles from the air. This range covers microalgae.
- Reduces by 30% the chemical products necessary for the entire treatment.
- Helping save OPEX
- Helps maintain hardness within acceptable levels due to its ionic exchange capacity.
- Reduces pressure by up to 50% less drop and energy consumed in pumps of recirculation Helping to save OPEX

Zeomedia is the only highly efficient zeolite-based filter media that has been chemically cleaned to optimize its quality and performance.
It generates 60% less waste of water and energy in backwashes per year and up to 50% better filtration quality.
It can increase the production capacity of an existing plant by at least 30% or reduce the number and sizes of filters required per project by half.
We are the only company in Mexico with NSF certification to help you reach the new regulations and parameters marked by the new NOM 127 in the water treatment process.
