Investigation and Prediction of Spiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Membrane Performance

Avlonitis, Stamatios (1991) Investigation and Prediction of Spiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Membrane Performance. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

In this work an analytical solution for the performance of the spiral wound modules is presented for sea-water as feed. This analysis takes into account pressure losses in both permeate and brine channels, the effect of concentration polarization and the concentration gradient along the membrane. A five parameters model is introduced. These parameters are; kfb (brine friction parameter), kfp (permeate friction parameter), k1 (water permeability coefficient), k (mass transfer coefficient), k2 (solute permeability coefficient).
