Development of a low cost tubular reverse osmosis module for one-pass sea water desalting
Abstract
Preliminary tests revealed that the casting procedure for the flat sheet NS-1 membrane was not readily adaptable to the casting of tubular membrane configurations. The program was reoriented towards the development of a modified casting procedure to yield both, target desalination characteristics as well as acceptable membrane reproducibility. The studies have culminated in a revised, and practical, casting method for the 1/2 in NS-1 membrane tubes. The major modification to the flat sheet casting procedure utilized a post treatment step which resulted in reproducible high quality membranes.
