โฆ Synopsis
Polymeric thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in a patented spiral-wound element configuration were evaluated at process temperatures to 90ยฐC. The viability of the membrane elements operating at high temperature was successfully demonstrated.
The high temperature RO (HT-RO) membrane elements are suitable for a variety of dewatering, concentrating and component separation applications in liquid food and beverage processes that operate at an elevated temperature.
In this paper, the performance of HT-RO elements for dewatering high temperature sugar solutions is highlighted. Also discussed are the special design features of the HT-RO element as well as its performance characteristics at high temperatures.

As a means to minimize or eliminate brine disposal problems, high recovery RO must be accompanied by pre-or post-treatment to avoid scale precipitation, almost entirely by CaSO4. All such methods will add to water cost. However, rigorous comparison must be made with the costs and constraints of bri
Membrane replacement rates for very large reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plants using "Permasep" hollow-fine fiber aramid membranes are necessary for estimating future operating costs. This paper is a synopsis of a study that relates long-term average replacement rates, actual use of those permea
