<p>A compact, efficient, reliable, low-cost pump system having an energy recovery apparatus is provided for a large capacity desalination plant using a reverse osmosis membrane (50). The pump system in a desalination plant using a reverse osmosis membrane (50), the system includes a seawater pressurization pump (100) and an energy recovery apparatus that recovers energy from high-pressure concentrated waste water through the reverse osmosis membrane (50) to use the energy as a driving force for the pressurization pump (100). Hydro turbine impellers (34a, 34b, 34c) and pump impellers (4a, 4b) are disposed opposite each other coaxially with a pump shaft (1) of the pressurization pump (100) to reduce an axial thrust. A thrust direction of the shaft (1) is supported by a single axial thrust support device. A radial direction of the shaft (1) is supported by multiple radial submerged bearings (11).</p> |
