Abstract
ABSTRACT
The present work introduces experimental investigations of a real reverse osmosis
(RO) plant. Flowrate and pressure measurements have been performed. The pump
pressure fluctuations at different flowrates and the permeate pressure of RO membrane
at different seawater salinities have been measured experimentally. The results of the
present experimental measurements and some of the previously published
experimental results of RO membrane have been compared with the corresponding
theoretical results of the plant theoretical model in order to validate the simulation
program (presented in part 1 of this paper). In the present work the validated
simulation model has been used to carry out prediction study to investigate the dynamic
characteristics of the plant axial piston pump and the RO membrane performance
under normal and abnormal operating conditions. The RO plant simulation model has
been used to present a proposed operational chart for the investigated desalination
plant in case of working under different feed water salinity and temperature.
