Abstract:

A.P. Hill, Virginia. The purpose of the study was to determine the production capacity and the capability of the system for removing color, turbidity, and dissolved salts from a highly colored, stagnant lake water, under field operating conditions. The results of this study indicate that The prototype RO system, designed to produce 360 gph of product water at a 500-psi feed pressure, is capable of producing, at an average operating pressure of 555 psi, 414 gph 6.9 gpm of product water at 81F with no color and 0.2 Jackson Turbidity Units JTU units of turbidity from a natural feedwater containing 185 units of color and 21 units of turbidity. Additional research is needed to improve the flocculationclarification process of the filter component. Modified author abstract
