Reverse Osmosis Design: Industrial Reverse Osmosis Equipment
- 1. 1 Reverse Osmosis Design: Designing Effective Reverse Osmosis Equipment for Industrial and Power Generation Applications www.LayneWater.com 1
- 2. 2 Reverse Osmosis Equipment for Power Generation Primary power generation Reverse Osmosis application is boiler feed water pre-treatment Downstream of clarification and filtration Upstream of demineralization polishing Reverse Osmosis equipment performance directly impacts demin performance and acid/caustic usage. www.LayneWater.com
- 3. 3 Reverse Osmosis Equipment Definitions Osmosis Pure water diffuses from the dilute side to the concentrated side of a semipermeable membrane. Reverse Osmosis High pressure is applied to the concentrated side of the membrane and pure water flows to the dilute side. Net Driving Pressure The pressure applied to the membrane to create the reverse osmosis. Typically 200 – 450 psi. www.LayneWater.com

- 6. 6 Reverse Osmosis Equipment for Power Generation RO Array How the elements are grouped together Series Parallel www.LayneWater.com
- 7. 7 Industrial Reverse Osmosis for Power Generation RO Stage A series of elements linked together such that the reject (concentrated) water from stage 1 becomes the feed water for stage 2. This is done to reduce wastewater and to increase the total recovery from the RO array. www.LayneWater.com
