Reverse osmosis is a continuous, reliable, demineralization and concentration process that requires very little operating attention. The key component is a semipermeable membrane that passes water but retains all suspended matter and most of the dissolved salts and organic substances in water. Reverse osmosis is being applied to high-purity water production, waste-stream concentration for pollution control, water reclamation, and food and pharmaceutical processing. It offers significant advantages over some other desalination techniques.

Water Pollution in Karang Mumus River caused society behavior along the river. Daily activity such as bath, washing and defecate at the river. Garbage, sediment, domestic waste and flood are river problems should be solved. Purpose this research is make strategy of water pollution control in the Karang Mumus River. Method used observation in the field, interview to the society, industry, public activity along the river and government of environment department. Further create data using tool of Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP) to get the strategy to control water pollution in the river. Actors have contribute pollution control are government, industry and society. Criteria to pollution control are society participation, low, human resources and sustainable. Alternative of pollution control are unit garbage storage; license loyalty for industry and waste; communal waste water installation; monitoring of water quality. Result for actor priority are government (0.4); Industry (0.4); Society (0.2). Result for priority criteria are society participation (0.338), low (0.288), human resources (0.205) and sustainable (0.169). Result for priority alternative are unit garbage storage (0.433); license loyalty for industry and waste (0.238); communal waste water installation (0.169); monitoring of water quality (0.161).

In a programme started in 1988, the waste water discharges from the major chemical industries in Sweden have been investigated. The primary objectives were to gather information on the major sources of such discharges and to initiate action so as to achieve significant reductions where required. In this paper the investigation programme is presented together with some early conclusions. As could be expected there are no simple common rules for these industries, each effluent should be considered as a separate problem. It was concluded that these waste waters were in most cases more toxic than was acceptable, and that further purifying measures were required in these cases.

The performance of a 480 cubic metres per day water reclamation plant was evaluated. The treatment train of this plant was sand filtration or carbon adsorption −0.45 µm cartridge filtration - reverse osmosis desalting - zeolite ion exchange deionisation. The raw water used was reclaimed sewage which had been treated by the activated sludge system and polished by chemical coagulation and flocculation, multimedia sand filtration and chlorination. After the reverse osmosis step using the spiral wound cellulose acetate membrane most of the cations, anions and heavy metals present in the water were removed.

This article shows the results of research on finding ways to purify waste water produced by alkaline hydrolysis of rice waste - rice husk. Two methods were used: baromembrane filtration and electrochemical oxidation of organic substances. It was found that in the results of baromembrane processing of hydrolyzate on the membranes mainly stay silicon compounds partially sorbing organic substances contained in the feedstock. Through the membranes there pass the major part of microbiologically oxidated organic matter, so its difficult to reach the required waste water treatment stage. The use of electrochemical oxidation of organic substances extracted by alkaline hydrolysis of rice husks into a solution allows more qualitatively treat the solution. A range of indicators (chemical oxygen demand, permanganate demand, polyphenols) evaluating the content of organic compounds in the desilicated solution showed that in order to remove them effectively enough electrolyte concentration of sodium chloride is 4 g L-1, formed by the desilication and dilution of the solution with the distilled water 1:10.
