ICR
(Integrated Concentrate Recirculation)
up to 80% and above reverse osmosis recovery rate
NERO-ICR (Integrated Concentrate Recirculation) – ICR is our patented breakthrough innovation on enhancing RO-recovery rate. ICR increases the recovery of close to any membrane or RO-system to up to 80% even at tap pressures without compromising the membrane lifetime, or actually, without compromising anything.
The ICR technology for increasing reverse osmosis recovery rate has been utilized in our products for roughly 10 years. By far the highest recovery rate reverse osmosis systems currently on the market.
See table below on the right for comparisons between ICR, and traditional methods for increasing reverse osmosis recovery rate.
- Easily fitted to small and large RO-systems
- Retrofittable to existing and in-use systems
- Can be applied to almost any membrane or membrane housing
- Minimal or even negative costs per system
- Low material costs
- Functions even on tap pressures (min 3 bar)
The ICR technology is currently available for licensing

Method for increasing recovery
Membrane lifetime uncompromised
Is low-cost and easy to implement
Water quality uncompromised
Can easily reach even up to 80% recovery
Restricting reject flow
Mixing RO-water with UF-water
Textbook recirculation (HP-Pump input)
Traditional RO-systems function at typical recovery rate of 20-25%. They require 4 to 5 liters of feed water to make just a single liter of drinkable water. The rest goes down the drain, literally. A low recovery rate increases the filter and membrane replacement rate while at the same time demanding more from the raw water pump due to a higher total feed water volume. Hundreds of millions of liters of perfectly usable water is wasted due to low recovery rate systems.
As of now, many countries are introducing new strict regulations and even bans on water wasting low recovery reverse osmosis systems. The most recent example is from India, where the NGT (National Green Tribunal) is driving various regulations and bans on low recovery RO-systems. Similiar movement can be seen in China, and various other countries, where tap water is not usually drinkable, as well.
Increasing reverse osmosis recovery rate
Conclusion?
The recovery rate of a reverse osmosis system essentially restricted by 2 factors, the available pressure and feed flow velocity.
The other is recirculation.
80% recovery rate without recirculation


80% recovery rate with recirculation


NERO-IDS
(Intelligent Distribution System)
NERO-IDS (Intelligent Distribution System) – IDS is our patented method of delivering purified water from the system to a water network. The traditional costly, malfunction-prone distribution pump is replaced by [Redacted], which continuously delivers purified water to the network while consuming no energy. NERO-IDS provides fully automatic water distribution in the exact same manner as a dedicated distribution pump. As an added bonus, distribution is completely silent.
- Zero energy usage for distribution
- System no longer requires electronics and logic for automatic distribution
- Enables 100% storage tank utilization, which in turn reduces size for the system
- Reduces system noise levels by a large margin
The NERO-IDS technology is currently available for licensing

NERO-HybridFlow
(Direct flow functionality)
NERO-HybridFlow (Direct flow functionality) – NERO-HybridFlow enables a system to function between both worlds. The technology merges the functionalities of a traditional reserve tank system with the “endless water” aspect of point-of-use systems that attach to a single water tap. Whenever the reserve tank of a HybridFlow system is dry, the system automatically functions as a direct flow system, and delivers the purified water directly to the water network, ignoring the reserve tank. Traditional systems force you to wait until the reserve tank is full enough to start its distribution pump, or force you to settle for small production rates that come with point-of-use systems.
- Pure water never runs out
- 100% service rate with zero waiting
