High pressure reverse osmosis (HPRO) is an emerging technology that is being explored for the treatment of hypersaline water with a salinity of more than 70,000 mg/L in order to overcome its high osmotic pressure. Although membrane deformation is expected in almost all pressure-driven processes, suc...
