The plant had an initial capacity of 10,000 m<sup>3<\/sup>\/day. In 2019, the plant replaced one full train (5,000 m<sup>3<\/sup>\/day) with LG NanoH2O\u2122 TFN RO membranes to improve performance in permeate quality, permeability and energy consumption. Additionally, LG NanoH2O\u2122 membranes were installed in two containerized plants, increasing the overall capacity of this site to 12,000 m<sup>3<\/sup>\/day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pilot Study<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In early 2020, the plant ran a pilot study to test the 2nd generation of LG NanoH2O\u2122 SWRO membrane model LG SW 400 R G2 with salt rejection up to 99.88%. This model was evaluated and compared with the first-generation TFN membranes, which feature a salt rejection specification of up to 99.85%. The pilot ran for over 15 months. Figure 1 illustrates the membrane configuration from the train and the pilot, and Table 1 lists the RO system configurations from the first and second-generation SWRO models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>LG SW 440 R G2 solution delivered an improved permeate water quality with a lower energy consumption compared with the 1st generation of TFN RO membranes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1489,"template":"","content-hub-categories":[9,151],"content-hub-types":[19],"content-hub-tags":[103,124,104,106],"class_list":["post-1486","content-hub","type-content-hub","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","content-hub-tags-desalination","content-hub-tags-drinking-water","content-hub-tags-ro-membrane","content-hub-tags-swro"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub\/1486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/content-hub"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub\/1486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1490,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub\/1486\/revisions\/1490"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"content-hub-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub-categories?post=1486"},{"taxonomy":"content-hub-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub-types?post=1486"},{"taxonomy":"content-hub-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub-tags?post=1486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
