Ensuring the correct treatment of membrane fouling, scaling and degradation permits optimal productivity of Reverse Osmosis (RO) (RO) systems as these conditions impact the condition of the RO membrane. Appropriate treatment of RO systems also limits operational costs for the system and is therefore critical to successful applications of RO in high-purity applications. This article revies RO system design and sizing, accurate data collection and interpretation, and suitable pretreatments pivotal to maximize RO membrane performance.
