A list of RO apphcations is given in Table 1.9. Several case studies are discussed in Chapter 3. RO plays a major role in providing potable water, defined as <1000 mg/1 total dissolved solids (TDS) by the W.H.O. or <500 mg/1 TDS based on U.S. EPA criterion. Desalination of seawater (50—100 bar g 35,000 mg/1 TDS) and brackish water (15-25 bar g 1000—10,000 ppm TDS) are the largest applications of RO. The highest rejection RO membranes are those that can make potable water from seawater using multi-staged, single-pass RO units. 

The salient features of SWRO and brackish water RO (BWRO) desalination processes that determine plant design and influence capital and operating costs are summarised below. Several RO desalination plant case studies are subsequently discussed to illustrate systems design and operation. 

Case study III. Fukuoka SWRO is the largest desalination plant in Japan with a capacity of 50,000 m /d. It was commissioned in 2005—2006. The plant specifications and operating conditions are given in Table 3.5 [53,54]. The plant is of special interest because of its various different design features and performance [59] ... 

Case study III. One of the first ED desalination plants in the US was commissioned in 1974 in the state of Oklahoma to supply drinking water to local communities. At the...
