METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EFFECTING HIGH RECOVERY DESALINATION WITH PRESSURE DRIVEN MEMBRANES

摘要

A system and method for switching between flows of water solutions passed in groups of blocks of membrane pressure vessels arranged in parallel in a tapered flow system, wherein the system comprises a system inlet feed line, a system outlet flow line, high pressure booster pumps configured to provide a high pressure feed stream to the system; blocks of membrane pressure vessels arrayed in parallel, and a first and second bypass line each parallel to said blocks.
