Although reverse osmosis (RO) is currently the most energy efficient desalination technology, it still requires a great … pressure and hence, energy. In this paper, PRO is evaluated in conjunction with RO, in a system called RO-PRO desalination, to … reduce the energy requirement of seawater RO desalination. RO-PRO specific energy consumption was modeled using RO conditions …
