  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MINIMIZING ENERGY CONSUMPTION DURING REVERSE OSMOSIS UNIT OPERATION
    Publication number: 20140110342
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for estimating an optimal individual product water flow rate for a RO train in an RO unit. The RO unit includes a plurality of RO trains. The method can include providing a desired overall product water flow rate for the reverse osmosis unit followed by obtaining one or more dynamic characteristics for each RO train in the plurality of RO trains; estimating a minimal specific energy consumption value for each RO train using the one or more dynamic characteristics; and subsequently obtaining an optimal individual product water flow rate for each RO train.
