  • High-pressure solution for reverse osmosis applications
    Modern reverse osmosis desalination plants operate with high base load capacity and therefore the mechanical reliability and efficiency of high-pressure membrane feed pumps deserve thorough consideration. Production losses due to mechanical failure or higher energy consumption due to lower hydraulic efficiency can be significant factors in the plant operating costs. Miguel Angel Rivas, product portfolio manager for Sulzer Pumps, discusses the options available.
