out of the system, then closes when recirculation resumes. Concentration increases with each recirculation.

Desalitech’s ReFlex™ products with patented CCRO technology establish a new benchmark for reverse osmosis performance. ReFlex™ systems
incorporate standard RO components in revolutionary process designs that significantly improve RO efficiency, flexibility and reliability.

The CCRO systems work by circulating water through a single stage of membrane elements until the desired recovery level is achieved instead of using
complex traditional multiple stage methods. Brine is periodically replaced with fresh feedwater without stopping permeate flow. Recovery is flexible
and can be set at the system control panel. A number of ReFlex™ installations demonstrate recoveries up to 96%. Under certain conditions, some
installations have achieved over 97% recovery in a single stage ReFlex™ system, reducing brine waste by 50-75%.

ReFlex™ products operate reliably on feedwaters that challenge traditional RO systems. The cross flow required for ReFlex™ RO membrane operation is
controlled with an internal circulation pump. Frequent and complete brine flushing prevents scale precipitation and disrupts biofouling, making very
high recovery rates possible even from mineral-laden or contaminated feedwaters. In addition, ReFlex™ products offer unmatched flexibility. Permeate
flow, cross flow velocity and system recovery are independently controlled, supporting process optimization and autonomous operation.
