Abstract
A study was made on a reverse osmosis laboratory module using a cellulose acetate membrane and synthetic brackish water. A factorial-2 design of experiments was used. The effect of varying the feed pressure, the feed temperature, and the feed flowrate on both the water flux and salt rejection percentage was investigated. Correlations between the various effects and the performance characteristics were obtained. It is concluded that, within the experimental range used, the most significant effect is that of the pressure. The best operating conditions, for the RO unit used, yielding the highest freshwater flux, are indicated.
