Membrane system feed flush

FLUSHING RO SYSTEM During flush, pump is off. Feed water is around 60 psi, permeate divert solenoid valve is closed, but diverted permeate pressure that is around 30 psi (less than inlet pressure) cannot enter in feed flush because inlet water pressure is too high. So permeate in note recycled. During production, when diverted permeate ... Read More »

Low Energy Membranes

Very good article of Bill Loyd in Watertechonline Taking advantage of low pressure membranes in commercial systems Note that AXEON Water Technologies has developped an extra low Energy RO membranes that are supposed to operate at pressure of 80 psi. I haven’t tried them yet, but this is an interesting innovation. Info here. These types ... Read More »
