Impact of salt retention on true batch reverse osmosis energy consumption: experiments and model validation

In theory, the batch reverse osmosis (RO) process achieves the lowest practical energy consumption by varying pressure over time. However, few batch RO systems have been built and operated. We have designed, built, and operated the first "true" batch RO prototype using a flexible bladder....
