REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM WITH VALVES FOR CONTROLLING A WORK EXCHANGER SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for the structure and operation of a work exchanger system in a reverse osmosis plant is disclosed. The work exchanger system is characterized by a an array of multiple work exchanger chambers each being individually controlled and operated to a meet an aggregate need of pressure recovery by the entire system. Each work exchanger chamber is characterized by at least one valve having a bypass system which is configured to equalize pressure on both sides of the valve. Such an equalizing process's delays are monitored and controlled by the central systems' controlling system to create no restrictions to reject high pressure brine flow in a reverse osmosis system at any given time.
