Extracted text: Consider the following flowchart where a reverse osmosis unit is used to desalinize seawater. A seawater stream (Feed, Stream # 1) contains 5 weight % salt (S) and a balance water (W). A reverse osmosis unit (called Reverse Osmosis Separator in the flowchart) has been installed to remove a fraction of the salt and produce desalinized water (also called potable water). The exit stream from the separator (stream #4, also called brine waste) is split into streams 5 and 6. Stream # 6 is recycled back and mixed with the Feed stream before they enter the Separator. • Basis: 100 kg/hr Feed • Stream # 3 contains 1 weight % salt and balanced water 5% of the total salt entering the separator through stream #2 leaves from stream 3. • Stream # 5 contains 10 weight % salt.
