Abstract:
A purification system is disclosed comprising a first reverse osmosis stage having a high pressure side and alow pressure side and a second reverse osmosis stage having a high pressure side and a low pressure side. The high pressure side of the first reverse osmosis stage outputs a yield stream that is split into a recycle stream and a concentrate stream. The low pressure side) of the first reverse osmosis stage receives the concentrate stream and outputs a purified stream. The high pressure side) of the second reverse osmosis stage receives the purified stream from the first reverse osmosis stage and outputs a reject stream) which is recycled to the high pressure side of the first reverse osmosis stage. The low pressure side of the second reverse osmosis stage outputs a final permeate product. U) 01o (N Co Ul) co (N ' rLO Vf CD (0 c rO U' Uf) (D U UlU) OD cc m 4) LO C
Abstract:
Systems and processes for purifying and concentrating a liquid feed stream are disclosed. In the systems, the concentrated liquid output from the high pressure side of a reverse osmosis stage is used as the draw solution in the low pressure side of the reverse osmosis stage in a configuration called osmotically assisted reverse osmosis. This reduces the osmotic pressure differential across the membrane, permitting high solute concentrations to be obtained, hastening the purification of the liquid. Reduced system pressures are also obtained by arranging multiple osmotically assisted reverse osmosis stages in a cross-current arrangement. Overall system energy consumption is reduced compared to conventional thermal processes for high concentration streams.

Abstract:
This invention relates to reverse osmosis systems and processes for purifying liquid streams in which reverse osmosis stages are staged in a partially cascading, cross-current arrangement. These arrangements permit reduction in osmotic pressure differential, purification of solutions with very high solute concentrations, and operation at reduced pressures with similar separation efficiencies compared to conventional arrangements. tO cu co CoN LLi U)
