随着世界继续关注寻找新的 饮用水的来源越来越受到重视 已支付反渗透（RO）工艺费用， 尤其是海水反渗透（SWRO）。在本文中 作者讨论了如何对海水进行适当的预处理 在反渗透过程产生重大影响之前 对SWRO有效性的积极影响 整个过程。 这是第一个进行并列比较的研究 膜与常规预处理的比较 对于SWRO。公用事业管理者将从中受益 测试方法的说明以及 不同预处理方法的性能比较 策略。这些信息将变得越来越多 由于更多的注意力集中在海水作为 可能的替代供水。包括21个参考文献、表格和图表。

As the world continues to focus on finding new sources of drinking water, increasing attention has been paid to the reverse osmosis (RO) process and, in particular, seawater RO (SWRO). In this article the authors discuss how proper pretreatment of seawater before the RO process can have a significant positive impact on the effectiveness of the SWRO process as a whole. This is the first study to conduct a side-by-side comparison of membrane and conventional pretreatment for SWRO. Utility managers will benefit from the descriptions of the methodologies for testing and the performance comparisons of different pretreatment strategies. This information will become increasingly valuable as more attention is focused on seawater as a possible alternate water supply. Includes 21 references, tables, figures.
