Scalable RO Brine Treatment with MOTIVA Electrolysis + SAO₃ Oxidation

Current Situation of RO Brine Treatment

RO brine, primarily generated from reverse osmosis systems, contains high concentrations of non-biodegradable organics, salts, and heavy metals. Direct discharge risks environmental contamination, and municipal plants struggle with its high salinity.

MOTIVA Treatment Technology

MOTIVA applies FCM-IV catalytic self-electrolysis and SAO₃ ozonation to decompose organics and heavy metals, reducing viscosity and preparing for efficient evaporation and compliant discharge.

Technology Highlights

1、Investment costs 20–30% lower than traditional processes

2、OPEX reduced by 20–40%

3、Highly resistant to fouling and scaling

4、Enhanced condensate quality and salt crystallization

Challenges in RO Brine Treatment

RO brine is difficult to treat due to its high COD and poor biodegradability, coupled with elevated salt concentrations, high pH, and a strong tendency to scale. Traditional methods like Fenton oxidation require large chemical doses, generate excessive sludge, and entail high operational costs. As evaporation progresses, the increasing viscosity of the concentrate often leads to clogging and system failure, making stable long-term treatment a significant challenge.
