Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of treatment of liquid including supplying liquid to be treated to at least one liquid treatment module having a liquid inlet, a permeate outlet and a brine outlet, monitoring liquid pressure within the at least one liquid treatment module and upon exceedance of a liquid pressure threshold in the at least one liquid treatment module, reducing the liquid pressure in the at least one liquid treatment module by performing at least one of the following functions: opening a liquid pressure reducing valve at the brine outlet, increasing a liquid volume output of a circulation pump which removes brine from the at least one liquid treatment module, equilibrating liquid pressures between a liquid pressure inside the at least one liquid treatment module and inside a liquid feed tank and opening a liquid pressure reducing valve at the liquid inlet.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of treatment of liquid comprising: supplying liquid to be treated to at least one liquid treatment module employing at least one of reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes, said at least one module having a liquid inlet, a permeate outlet and a brine outlet; monitoring liquid pressure within said at least one liquid treatment module; and upon exceedance of a liquid pressure threshold in said at least one liquid treatment module, representing exceedence of a salinity thresh…
