Abstract

The learning objectives of this chapter are the following:• To apply the principles of membrane filtration in the process design of a seawater reverse osmosis system • Calculate the number of RO elements, number of pressure vessels, capacity of the high-pressure pump, membrane permeability coefficients for salt and water, permeate flow, feed flow, concentrate flow, permeate of the quality with and without the flux effect, verify the concentration polarization factor, cross-flow velocity of the water inside the membranes, and energy consumption with and without an energy recovery device 9.
