Most important in any economic analysis of a desalting process is a comparison frame of reference. This "frame of reference" provides the means for comparison with other processes. One of the most generally accepted cost references for desalination plants is that published by Oak Ridge National Labo

โฆ Synopsis
The performance of the 3000 USGPD prototype and the projected performance of larger scale plants confirms the potential benefits of centrifugal reverse osmosis : reduced energy consumption, improved reliability, lower levels of noise and vibration, and reduced requirements for pretreatment. The prototype unit is installed and operated on board a Canadian Navy vessel . Designs for larger systems have been developed and are awaiting opportunities for implementation . The future for this technology looks very bright.
