Optimal membrane selection for Brackish water desalination

摘要

An integrative approach for optimal membrane selection concerning desalting of brackish water is proposed. This approach is based on management modeling for the following subsystems: Intake, pretreatment, Reverse-Osmosis (RO) unit, post-treatmentj and brine disposal. The management modeling capabilities. Attention is also given to membrane replacement and permeates salinity.
