Influence of the chosen process parameters on the efficiency of seawater desalination: SWRO pilot plant results at Urla Bay seashore

EuroMedLab 2008 Conference -- NOV 09-13, 2008 -- Dead Sea, JORDANWOS: 000267309400025The most widely used desalination method used in order to produce potable water from seawater is reverse osmosis (RO). In this study, desalination tests were performed at a seashore of Urla Bay, Izmir, Turkey. The tests were carried out at different pressures (55-62 bar) using a single RO module at different feed seawater temperatures (10-15 degrees C). Variables Such as pH, conductivity, TDS, salinity, turbidity, relative rejection of some ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3-) and B levels in permeates collected were measured
