Selecting a Pump for Seawater Reverse Osmosis

From CAT PUMPS - High Pressure Pumps & Systems
 

 
Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination has become a significant process used in the purification of water. Selecting the correct pump is a significant step in a well designed and properly operating pumping system. Although the pump is a relatively small part of the overall cost of an RO system, expenses resulting from downtime and inefficiency can quickly diminish the productivity of the RO system and your return on investment.
