B. Liberman et I. Liberman, Starting procedure of high-pressure pump with de-rated motor for large-scale SWRO trains, DESALINATN, 132(1-3), 2000, pp. 293-298
The target today to produce desalinated water at the lowest cost requires t
he design of a small number of large RO trains in a desalination plant. The
increased capacity of RD trains, operated by one high-pressure pump, has b
ecome more prevalent. The Eilat 8000 m(3)/d seawater RO plant incorporates
one high-pressure pump and an energy recovery turbine driven by a de-rated
motor on the same shaft. This pump is manufactured by Sulzer Pumpen GmbH. L
ow power consumption and capital cost are characteristic of this SWRO plant
.
