When it comes to reverse osmosis, flux refers to the rate at which water passes through semipermeable membranes. It refers to the volume of water that passes through a membrane per unit of time and surface area. Several factors influence reverse osmosis flux, including the pressure applied to the water, the temperature of the water,…
Tag: Spiral wound membrane
A spiral wound membrane is a type of thin film composite (TFC) membrane used in reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment systems. It consists of a thin, porous polymer membrane that is spirally wound around a permeate collection tube and sealed in a permeate delivery header. The spiral wound design allows for a large surface area…
