Pre-treatment technology for RO membrane desalination

Reverse osmosis (RO) has been established as a reliable process for seawater desalination. The reliability of RO technique depends upon the extent of the pretreatment that must be designed to reduce the suspended and colloidal material in the feed water. This thesis reviews the theories of seawater...

Description
Summary:Reverse osmosis (RO) has been established as a reliable process for seawater desalination. The reliability of RO technique depends upon the extent of the pretreatment that must be designed to reduce the suspended and colloidal material in the feed water. This thesis reviews the theories of seawater desalination with RO and different pretreatment techniques.
