DEVICE FOR MEASURING PERMEATE FLOW AND PERMEATE CONDUCTIVITY OF INDIVIDUAL REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE ELEMENTS

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a system comprising integrated sensors (169, 170) for measurement of permeate flow and permeate conductivity of individual membrane elements (163) while they are in operation in an RO unit. The flow and conductivity measuring integrated sensors (169, 170) are of a small size that enables them to be inserted into the permeate tube (172) of connected membrane elements (163) during RO unit operation. Measured flow and conductivity information is transferred to the recording device (174) through electric wires or through wireless transmission.
