ROTEC Overview
ROTEC develops mineral scaling-prevention technologies for the water treatment industry. The companys Flow Reversal technology inhibits biofouling and mineral scaling on the surface of membranes and pipes by periodically reversing the flow of feed water inside the pressure vessel, ensuring that scaling does not have time to form on membrane surfaces before being swept away by undersaturated feed solution conditions. The implementation of scaling-prevention technology in membrane-based desalination plants can increase the process recovery rate, reduce brine volumes requiring disposal, minimize antiscalant consumption, and significantly reduce the cost of desalinated water. ROTEC is a part of WFI Group (Water From Innovation Group).

How ROTEC Is Improving Desalination Technology Around the World - Municipal Water Leader
ROTEC, an Israeli company, has developed a Flow Reversal method that significantly boosts the recovery rate of reverse osmosis (RO) systems. This innovation allows RO systems to operate at higher recovery rates, reducing brine volume and increasing permeate production. The technology also decreases the frequency of membrane cleaning and extends the lifespan of the membranes. ROTECs Flow Reversal process can be retrofitted into existing RO systems, providing a cost-effective solution for enhancing water treatment infrastructure. The company has successfully implemented its technology in various applications, including industrial reuse and municipal wastewater treatment. ROTEC aims to address the growing demand for innovative and sustainable water solutions and contribute to long-term water security and sustainability.

Desalination Without the Ocean
Israeli firm Rotec is set to unveil a prototype plant in Jordan that uses a technique called tapered flow to increase the amount of water produced by a desalination plant and reduce the cost of desalination by around 20%. The technique also reduces the amount of waste brine produced, which is a significant issue for inland countries without access to the sea. The companys current prototype in Israel processes 120 cubic meters of water a day, converting 88% of the salty water into fresh water. The data from these plants will be used to explore the potential for commercial plants.
