Performance evaluation of reverse osmosis process in al-Dura power station

الملخص EN

The present work aims to study the pcrfonimnce of reverse osmosis prcccss at Al-Duia power station.

The selected membrane which is used in this work is made from polyamide (thin film composite membrane (TFC)) constructed as spiral wound moduEc.

The basic advantages ol' this type of membrane are the higher productivity compared with the total volume of die module, and stability of the polymer towards the chcmical effee*.

It was found Dial recove^' percentage (or product rate), rejection percentage (or solute concciitratiwj in piuduet), and concentration factor decreases with increasing operating time for reverse osmosis unit, whereas, the operating pressure for reverse osmosis ur.Lt increase with time.

Maximuni sail rejection percentage and Maximum recovery percentage were dciarminoJ to he 96% and 75% respectively for polyamide membrane
