← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when exceeding back pressure limits in reverse osmosis desalination processing?
A)Membrane delamination and reduced flux✓
B)Increased ion selectivity improvements found
C)Enhanced bulk feed water stabilization
D)Decreased required pre-filtration duration
💡 Explanation
Membrane damage occurs because exceeding back pressure in RO causes reverse permeate flow, resulting in membrane delamination; this mechanism reduces flux significantly. Therefore, membrane failure occurs, rather than improvements which require controlled forward pressure.
