Experimental versus theoretical study of reverse osmosis pilot scaling: The case of Algerian brackish water desalination

Abstract

In recent years, the increasing threat to ground water quality due to human activities has become a matter of great concern. The ground water quality problems present today are caused by contamination and by over exploitation or by combination of both. Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination is one of the main technologies for producing fresh water from sea water and brackish ground water.
