Calculate RO Membrane Flux Rate



Formula

The formula to calculate the Flux Rate (FR) of an RO membrane is:

\[ FR = \frac{Q}{A} \]

What is a RO Membrane?

An RO membrane is a type of filtering device that uses reverse osmosis to remove particles from water. The process involves applying pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane, which allows water molecules to pass while blocking contaminants and impurities. RO membranes are commonly used in water purification systems to produce clean drinking water.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Flux Rate (FR):

\[ FR = \frac{Q}{A} = \frac{100}{50} = 2 \text{ gallons/day/ft}^2 \]

The Flux Rate (FR) is 2 gallons/day/ft2.
