Actual Performance of Toyobo RO Module for Seawater Desalination

4 ACTUAL PERFORMANCE OF TOYOBO RO MODULE FOR SEAWATER DESALINATION 

The main feamres of a CTA membrane are summarized in following two points  

Chlorine is an effective disinfectant of CTA RO module and chlorine allows the RO membrane module to be directly sterilized. 

A CTA membrane has low adhesion of the fouling matters due to its hydrophilic property to an organic matter. 

The Jeddah 1 RO seawater plant is introduced as an example of a Red Sea coast plant on the Arabian Peninsula. The Jeddah 1 RO Phase I plant, which has a capacity of 15 MGD (56,800 m /day), went into operation in 1989. The same sized Phase II plant came on stream in 1994, giving the plant a total capacity of 30 MGD (113,600 m /day) (Al-Badawi et al., 1995). The specifications of the Jeddah Phase I and Phase II RO plants are shown in Table 2.2.
