SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on methods to control upstream and downstream pressure in a reverse osmosis (RO) system. The desired upstream pressure is specified to be between 50 to 60 bar, while the downstream pressure should not exceed 20 bar due to sensitivity of downstream equipment. Suggested solutions include the use of pumps and valves to manage these pressure levels effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of reverse osmosis (RO) systems
  • Knowledge of pressure regulation techniques
  • Familiarity with pump and valve operations
  • Basic principles of fluid dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research pressure control valves for reverse osmosis systems
  • Learn about pump selection for maintaining specific pressure ranges
  • Investigate pressure monitoring tools for RO applications
  • Explore fluid dynamics principles relevant to pressure management
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, technicians, and operators involved in the design and maintenance of reverse osmosis systems, particularly those focused on pressure management and system efficiency.

Hi,
Can someone kindly suggest me some methods of controlling upstream pressure as well as downstream pressure, whereby the upstream pressure should be keep at about 50 to 60bar (reject from reverse osmosis unit) and downstream pressure at 20bar maximum since the downstream equipment is sensitive to pressure.
Thanks in advance

Without much more information about what you are trying to do, all I can suggest is a pump and valves.
 
Does all of the RO unit waste have to go through the down stream unit?
