Recent developments in membrane technology and appropriate construction material made reverse osmosis plant attractive for large desalting capacity. Reserve osmosis showed a growing demand specially in sea water desalting. It can be considered the optimum process in areas where sufficient electric p

โฆ Synopsis
The designer of a reverse osmosis plant must forecast the brine and product stream concentrations from the membrane salt rejection and the ratio of product to feed flows (product recovery). this paper reviews the derivation of equations which predict these concentrations, and furthermore, yield an average feed stream concentration between feed and brine which allows the forecasting of plant productivity at high recoveries. The derived equations are contrasted with other less accurate equations which have been used in the industry.
