Polarization

This document summarizes the performance of a reverse osmosis system with the following key details: 1) The system treats seawater with a total recovery rate of 34% and produces 3.9 m3/hr of permeate flow. 2) The system has 1 pass with 4 membrane elements. The feed water flow is 11.47 m3/hr and concentrate flow is 7.57 m3/hr. 3) Key water quality parameters are reported for the feed, concentrate and permeate streams including TDS, pH, and concentrations of various ions. 4) Performance details for each element like flux, recovery and pressure are provided. Warnings about high flux rates and
