In this study, a lab-scale of reverse osmosis (RO) system was used to investigate the
performance of a spiral wound RO membrane to desalinate a brackish groundwater of
several locations (Mandali, Al-Yusufiya, and Al-Musayyib) in the middle of Iraq. The
investigation included different parameters such as permeate conductivity, permeate flux,
and membrane salt rejection. In addition, the examinations of this work included studying the
influence of feedwater temperature and feedwater pressure on permeate flux and …
