High-pressure reverse osmosis (HPRO) holds promise as a technology for the energy-efficient desalination of hypersaline brine (≥70 g/L total dissolved solids). In this work, we examined the effects of membrane compaction for four types of thin-film composite (TFC) RO membranes from DuPont Water Solu...
