Контекст:
The HPB™ is typically installed between the high pressure feed pump and the membrane.
The feed passes through the pretreatment system and then passes through the feed pump which raises the feed pressure.
The pressurized feed passes through the HPB™, which provides an additional pressure increase before passing to the membrane.
The membrane produces a high-pressure brine stream which is directed back to the HPB™.
The HPB™ recovers the pressure energy and discharges the brine at low pressure for disposal.
The proper brine back pressure must be met.
It is recommended that a brine pressure gauge is used if there is any doubt that sufficient pressure is availably.
Refer to technical proposal for brine back pressure requirements.
The HPB™ reduces feed pump energy consumption and allows use of a smaller feed pump, smaller motor, smaller motor starter, electrical wiring, etc.
