[0001]
The present invention relates to a complex desalination system provided with a first water treatment system that filters a first raw water having a high salinity concentration such as seawater. brackish water, brine water, efc., using a reverse osmosis membrane device, and a second water treatment system that filters a second raw water having a salinity concentration lower than that of the first raw water, using a reverse 6smosis membrane device, wherein the invention particularly relates to a technology that uses a hydraulic pressure energy of a non-permeate water discharged from the reverse osmosis membrane device of the second water treatment avstem.
Background Art [00021
Patent Document 1 discloses a technology wherein, in a seawater desalination device for desalinating a seawater by filtering using a reverse osmosis membrane device, a wastewater containing an organic matter, for example represented by sewage, (hereinafter, referred to as ‘organic wastewater’), which would otherwise usually be processed by a biological treatment and discharged into an ocean or a river, is mixed with a seawater taken in by the seawater desalination device: the salinity concentration of a water to be treated (in other words, water that is to be processed by treatment) in the seawater desalination device is decreased (diluted) from the salinity concentration of the seawater itself; and the water to be treated whose salinity concentration having been diluted is pressure transferred to the reverse osmosis membrane device of the seawater desalination device so that a driving force required for a pressure transfer pump (corresponding to ‘a high-pressure pump’ in the present description) is decreased.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Problem to be Solved by the Invention
[0005]
However, in the technology disclosed by Patent Document 1, the pressure in case of using a reverse osmosis membrane device in a water treatment process of an organic wastewater is lower than a pressure in case of using the reverse osmosis membrane device in the water treatment process of the seawater desalination device. Further, as it is no more than that a non-permeate water discharged from the reverse osmosis membrane device in the water treatment process of the organic wastewater 1s mixed with a seawater that 1s directly taken in so that the salinity concentration of the non-permeate water is decreased to be lower than that of the seawater, the energy of the non-permeate water from the reverse osmosis membrane device in the water treatment process of the organic wastewater 1s at a comparatively low pressure. Consequently, the energy is not used at all to he wasted.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to provide a complex desalination system capable of effectively utilizing the energy of a non-permeate water of a reverse osmosis membrane device from the complex desalmation system. thereby solving the above-described problem.
Means for Solving the Problem
[0007] in order to solve the above-described problem, a complex desalination system in a first aspect of the invention includes! a first water treatment system for filtering a first raw water having a high salinity concentration by use of a first reverse osmosis membrane device: and a second water treatment system for filtering a second raw water having a salinity concentration lower than the salinity concentration of the first raw water by use of a second reverse osmosis membrane device, wherein the first water treatment svstem includes: a preliminary filtration device for filtering a water to be treated cluding the first raw water taken in. in a stage preliminary to the first reverse osmosis membrane device: and a first pump for pressurizing the water to be treated to be supplied to the preliminary filtration device, and wherein the first pump is driven under a hydraulic pressure by a non permeate water discharged from the second reverse
A osmosis membrane device of the second water treatment svstem, and the non-permeate water having driven the first pump is mixed with the first raw water to produce the water to be treated.
[0008]
Ag the salinity concentration of the water to be treated of the second water treatment system 1s lower than the salinity concentration of the water to be treated of the first water treatment system, the hydraulic pressure of the non-permeate water of the second reverse osmosis membrane device 1s of course significantly lower than the hydraulic pressure of a non-permeate water of the first reverse osmosis membrane device. However, the required degree of raising a pressure by the first pump for pressurizing and supplying the water to be treated including the first raw water to the preliminary filtration device 13 lower than a required pressure to be applied to the water to be treated to be supplied to the first reverse osmosis membrane device.
Accordingly, the first pump 1s driven under the hydraulic pressure by the non-permeate water discharged from the second reverse osmosis membrane device of the second water treatment system. This driving effectively utilizes the hydraulic pressure of the non-permeate water discharged from the second reverse csmosis membrane device of the second water treatment system.
Further, the non-permeate water having driven the first pump is mixed with the first raw water of the first water treatment system to produce a water to be treated having a salinity concentration which is diluted from that of the first raw water, having been taken in, of the first water treatment system. This water to be treated reduces the required degree of raising a pressure by a pump which pressurizes the water to be treated to be supplied to the first reverse osmosis membrane device.
[6009]
A complex desalination system in a second aspect of the invention includes: a first water treatment system for filtering a first raw water having a high salinity concentration by use of a first reverse osmosis membrane device! and a second water treatment system for filtering a second raw water having a salinity concentration lower than the salinity concentration of the first raw water by use of a second reverse osmosis membrane device, wherein the first water treatment system includes: a third pump for taking in the first raw water: and a first raw water tank storing the first raw water taken in, and wherein the third pump 18 driven under a hydraulic pressure by a non-permeate water discharged from the second reverse osmosis membrane device of the second water treatment system, and the non-permeate water having driven the third pump is supplied to the first raw water tank. 10010}
As the salinity concentration of the water to be treated of the second water treatment system is lower than the salinity concentration of the water to be treated of the first water treatment system. the hydraulic pressure of the non-permeate water of the second reverse osmosis membrane device 1s of course significantly lower than the hydraulic pressure of the non permeate water of the first reverse osmosis membrane device. However, the required degree of raising a pressure by the third pump for supplving the first raw water to the first raw water tank is lower than a required pressure to be applied to the water to be treated to be supplied to the first reverse osmosis membrane device. Accordingly, the third pump 1s driven under the hvdraulic pressure by the non-permeate water discharged from the second reverse osmosis membrane device of the second water treatment system.
This driving effectively utilizes the hvdraulic pressure of the non-permente water discharged from the second reverse osmosis membrane device of the second water treatment system.
Further, the non-permeate water having driven the third pump is supplied to the first raw water tank of the first water system, and the salinity concentration of the first raw water, having been taken in, of the first water treatment system is diluted. This dilution reduces the required degree of raising a pressure by the pump which pressurizes the water to be treated to be supplied to the first reverse osmosis membrane device.

The complex desalination system 100 is assumed to be installed in a seaside area. in the vicinity of a brackish lake, in the vicinity of a brackish water area, or the like.
The complex desalination system 100 includes a wastewater treatment system (second water treatment system) 1 for wastewater treatment to make a wastewater (second raw water) A (hereinafter referred to merely as ‘wastewater A) having a lower salinity concentration such as industrial wastewater or urban wastewater compared with seawater, brackish water, brine water, and the like, into a reuse of wastewater {hereinafter referred to as ‘permeate water B or ‘product water BY) such as industrial water other than drinking water: a seawater desalination treatment system {first water treatment system) 3 for water purification treatment to make a water having comparatively high salinity concentration (first raw water) J such as seawater, brackish water. brine water, and the like into a reuse of wastewater (hereinafter referred to as ‘permeate water I or ‘product water [0 such as industrial water other than drinking water; and a control device 6 for operational control of a pump. a valve, ete. included in the wastewater treatment system 1 and the seawater desalination treatment system 3. ;
In the following, ‘water I) having a comparatively high salinity concentration such ag seawater, brackish water, brine water, and the like’ will be representatively referred to as ‘seawater I), and as described above, ‘seawater desalination treatment system 3’ represents the meaning of description represented by ‘seawater I),
[0015] (Configuration of Wastewater Treatment System 1)
First, the schematic configuration of the wastewater treatment svstem 1 will be desertbed, referring to FIG. 1. The wastewater A contains an organic matter and the like, and 1s introduced from a wastewater intake pipe 51 to a water treatment device (herein after referred to as ‘MBR water treatment device 117 and is represented merely by ‘MBR in FIG. 1) using, for example, membrane bioreactor (MBR), and is then processed by a primary treatment. A water to be treated having been processed by the primary treatment by the MBR water treatment device 11 is introduced from the
MBR water treatment device 11 by a transfer pump 12 through a pipe 52 temporarily to a treated water tank 13 serving as a buffer of the flow of the water to be treated, and is thus stored. Further, the water to be treated stored 1n the treated water tank 13 1s sucked through a pipe 53 by a supply pump 14 to be supplied to a high-pressure pump 15, and is pressurized by the high-pressure pump 15 to be supplied to the supply port 16a, for the water to be treated. of a low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device (second reverse osmosis membrane device) 16. {0016
The low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16 1s configured bv disposing plural membrane module units in parallel, for example as described in FIGS, 3 and 4 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2001-149932,
The water to be treated supphed from the supply port 16a under a pressure 18 separated into a permeate water B, which has permeated reverse osmosis membranes and has been purified in the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16, and a non-permeate water C, which has not permeated the reverse osmosis membranes and 1s the water to be treated.
The permeate water B is supplied as a product water B from a permeate port 16b through a pipe 54, for an external purpose corresponding to the water quality level. 10017]
The non-permeate water C is supplied from the discharge port 16¢ of the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16 through a pipe 56 to a later-described intake tank (first raw water tank) 32, wherein the flow rate 18 regulated by a back pressure valve 18 provided midway in the pipe 56.
The concentration of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) of the concentrated non-permeate water C in the wastewater treatment system 1 is approximately 1,200 mg/liter, which is extremely low compared with the concentration of TDS of the seawater DD, which is approximately 30,000 mg/liter. Accordingly, the above-described low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16 is operated at a pressure of 0.8 to 1.5 MPa.
Incidentally, this operational pressure is set to have a range for increasing the operational pressure to obtain a predetermined flow rate of the permeate water B, accompanying an increase in the dirt of reverse osmosis membranes of the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16.
Accordingly, the pressure of the non-permeate water C is approximately 0.8 to 1.5 MPa. This pressure is released by the above-described back-pressure valve 18.
An ultrafiltration device may be used instead of the MBR water treatment device 11 of the wastewater treatment system |.
Incidentally, an arrangement may be made such as to provide a function to recover the pressure of the non permeate water C as energy in the stage when the pipe 56 introduces the non-permeate water C in the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16 into the mmtake tank 32.
The details of this arrangement will be described in first to fourth embodiments,
[0018] (Seawater Desalination Treatment System 3)
In the following, the schematic configuration of the seawater desalination treatment system 3 will be described, referring to FIG. 1. A seawater D 1s sucked by an intake pump 31 from an intake pipe 81 and supplied into the intake tank 32 by an intake pipe 82 to be stored. As described above, as the non-permeate water C 1s supplied from the wastewater treatment system 1 by the pipe 56 to the intake tank 32. the seawater I) and the non-permeate water C are mixed in the intake tank 32 to become a water to be treated having a lower salinity concentration than that of seawater. In other words, the value of TDS also becomes lower than the value of TDS of the seawater D.
The water to be treated stored in the intake tank 32 1s supplied to a pre-treatment filtration device (preliminary filtration device) 34 through a pipe 83 under a predetermined pressure applied by a filtration pump 33.
As the pre-treatment filtration device 34, any one of a UF device using an ultrafiltration membrane (UF membrane}, an MF device using a micyo filtration membrane (MF membrane), and a sand filtration device may be used. Incidentally, in FIG. 1, ‘UF’, which refers to an UF device, is described to represent the pre-treatment filtration device 34.
Taking an example of an UVF device as the pre-treatment filtration device 34, the Ul device is generally driven at 50 to 150 kPa.
[0619]
The water to be treated filtered by the pre-treatment filtration device 34 is transferred through a pipe 84 to a treated water tank 35 to be temporarily stored wherein the treated water tank 35 serves as a buffer of the flow of the water to be treated. The water to be treated stored in the treated water tank 35 is sucked by a supply pump 36 to be supplied to a high-pressure pump 37 through a pipe 85! then is increased in pressure by the high-pressure pump 37, to 3.5 to 6 MPa for example! and 1s supplied to a treatment water supply port 38a of a seawater reverse osmosis membrane device (first reverse osmosis membrane device) 38. The seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38 ig configured by disposing plural membrane module units in parallel, for example as deseribed mm FIGS. 3 and 4 of
Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2001-149932. The seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38 1s operated at a higher pressure than the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16, and the material of the reverse osmosis membranes of the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38 has a performance that is durable against a higher pressure.
Incidentally, when the value of TDS or the dirt of the water to be treated supplied to the reverse osmosis membranes of the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 38 increases, this operational pressure is increased to obtain a predetermined flow rate of the permeate water 1. 10020]
The water to be treated supplied from the supply port 38a under a pressure 1s separated into a permeate water KE, which has permeated reverse osmosis membranes and has been purified in the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38, and a non-permeate water G, which has not permeated the reverse cemosis membranes and is the water to be treated. The permeate water Kis supplied as a product water E from a permeate port 38h through a pipe 87, for an external purpose corresponding to the water quality level.
[0021]
The non permeate water (; having an operational pressure of the above-described seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38 is supplied from a discharge outlet 38¢ through a pipe 89 to a high-pressure supply port 39d of a later-deseribed pressurizing side end portion 39b of an energy recovery device 390 directly exchanges pressure with a water to be treated supplied from the supply pump 36: and 18 thereafter discharged from a discharge port 3% of the pressurizing side end portion 39b wherein the flow rate ig regulated by a back-pressure valve 40 provided midway in a pipe 90.
This non-permeate water G is salinity concentrated seawater, brackish water, or brine water.
The energy recovery device 39 is a direct pressure exchange type in the present embodiment, and is a device, of a known art, configured mainly bv a rotor section 39a rotationally driven at a predetermined rotational speed by a motor, not shown, the pressurizing side end portion 39h, and a pressurized side end portion 39¢.
[0022]
A pipe 91 is branched from the pipe 85 at the branch point P1 of the pipe 85 between the supply pump 36 and the high-pressure pump 37, and a part of the low-pressure water to be treated supplied by the supply pump 36 1s supplied to the supply port 39g at the pressurized side end portion 39¢ of the energy recovery device 38. Then. the water to be treated supplied to the supply port 39g 1s pressurized by direct exchange of pressure with the non-permeate water G from the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38, and is thereafter further supplied from the discharge port 39f of the pressurized side end portion 3%¢ to a booster pump 41 provided on the midway of a pipe 92. The booster pump 41 raises the pressure of the water to be treated pressurized by the energy recovery device 39 up to the same pressure as the high-pressure pump 37. The water to be treated supplied from the high-pressure pump 37 and the water to be treated supplied from the pipe 92 are joined together at the junction point P2 on the pipe 86 on the downstream side of the high-pressure pump 37. and the joined water to be treated 1s supplied to the supply port 38a of the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38. 10023]
In such a manner, as the non-permeate water G from the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38 has an extremely high pressure, the energy of the non-permeate water (& is collected to be reused for energy to supply the water to be treated to the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38, which enables reducing the capacity of the high-pressure pump 37 and thereby saving the power requirement. Further, by mixing the non-permeate water C from the wastewater treatment system 1 with the seawater IJ, the salinity concentration is reduced, and the pressure increase required to the high-pressure pump 37 1s reduced down to approximately 3.5
MPa by diluting the non-permeate water C and the seawater D in substantially the same amount wherein approximately 6MPa would be necessary in case of seawater only. As a result, the power requirement is reduced alse mn this manner. That is, as the operational pressure of the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38 1s higher compared with the operational pressure of the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16, the energy of the non permeate water GG in the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38 is collected. Further, the operational pressure itself of the seawater reverse osmosis membrane device 38 1s reduced.
[0024]
Incidentally, the transfer pump 12, the supply pump 14, the high-pressure pump 15, the intake pump 31, the filtration pump 33, the supply pump 36, the high-pressure pump 37, the booster pump 41, the rotor section 39a of the energy recovery device 39, and the like are connected to the rotation shaft of a driving motor, not shown, and integrally configured.
An inverter device (not shown) for supplying driving power to the driving motor is installed as a site panel or integrally attached to the driving motor.
The control device 6 controls the rotation of the driving motor through the mverter.
[0025] {Control Device 6)
In the following, outline of control by the control device 6 in the present basic embodiment will be described.
The control device 6 is configured by, for example, plural control units 60, 61, and 63, wherein each of the control units 60, 61, and 63 is provided with a CPU board, an input/output interface board, and the like, wherein a
CPU, a ROM, a RAM, ete. not shown, are mounted on the CPU board. The control unit 60 integrally controls the entire complex desalination system 100. The control unit 61 controls the wastewater treatment system 1. The control unit 63 controls the seawater desalination treatment system 3.
Therefore, the control unit 60 1s communicably connected to the control units 61 and 63.
The control unit 81 includes a flow rate control section (not shown), as a function section, for regulating the flow rate of the non-permeate water
C by adjusting the opening degree of the back-pressure valve 18.
[0026]
The control unit 680 of the control device 6 has required-flow-rate instructions C1, C2 for the permeate water B and the product water Ein the complex desalination system 100, which are input thereinto from outside.
Then, the control unit 60 sets a target flow rate of the permeate water B in the wastewater treatment system 1, for example, In response to the reguired-flow-rate instruction C1, based on the wastewater flow rate (a flow rate detected by a later-described flow rate sensor 81) supplied to the wastewater treatment system 1 and the {low rate (a flow rate detected by a later-described flow rate sensor 86) of the permeate water B, and thus has the control unit 61 control the wastewater treatment system 1. The control unit 60 alse computes a target flow rate of the permeate water I in the seawater desalination treatment system 3 in regponse to the required flow rate mnstruction C2, and thus has the control unit 63 control the seawater desalination treatment system 3.
[0027]
In order to perform these, the wastewater intake pipe 51 1s provided with a flow rate sensor 51 for detecting the flow rate of the wastewater A, and the pipe 54 is provided with a flow rate sensor S6 for detecting the flow rate of the permeate water B, so that the flow rate of the wastewater A and the flow rate of the permeate water B are input into the control unit 60 through the unit 61. Further, the pipe 87 is provided with a flow rate sensor S20 for detecting the flow rate of the permeate water EE so that the flow rate of the permeate water E is input into the control unit 60 through the control unit 63.
[0028]

[0039]
The control units 60 and 61 of the control device 6 in the present embodiment have the same functions as those of the control units 60 and 61 of the control device 6 of the complex desalination system 100 in the basic embodiment. The function of the control unit 63 of the control device 6 in the present embodiment 1g substantially the same as the function of the control unit 63 of the control device 6 of the complex desalination system 100, but is different in that a function to control the filtration pump 33 is not provided but a function to adjust the opening degree of a flow-rate amount control valve 191s provided. The same symbols are assigned to the same elements as those of the complex desalination system 100, and a redundant deseription will be omitted.

[0040]
The flow rate control section (not shown), as a function section, of the control unit 61 in the present embodiment controls the flow rate of the non-permeate water C from the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16. As the turbine inlet pressure {displayed as ‘turbine inlet pressure (pressurizing pressure of the non-permeate water) the first left column in TABLE 1); applied at the pressurized water inlet 38¢ of the turbine pump 33A by the non-permeate water C from the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16 increases, the turbine inlet flow rate (liter/min’ {described as ‘turbine inlet flow rate (flow rate of the non permeate water) in the second left column in Table 1} also correspondingly increases, Herein, when the turbine let flow rates with respect to the respective values of the turbine inlet pressure of the non-permeate water C from the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16 are referred to as 100%, the discharge flow rates (9%) of the water to be treated corresponding to the discharge pressure (kPa) of the water to be treated from the discharge port 33f of the pump section 33b of the turbine pump 33A become values larger than the turbine inlet flow rates (%).
[0041]
As the opening degree of the back-pressure valve 18 is controlled by the above-described flow rate control section of the control unit 61 to control the flow rate of the non-permeate water C from the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16, the discharge flow-rate from the pump section 33b of the turbine pump 33A 1s automatically determined by the hydraulic pressure and the flow rate of the non permeate water C. In order to regulate with high accuracy the flow rate of the water to be treated to be supplied to the pre-treatment filtration device 34 by the rotation speed of the turbine pump 33A, the control unit 63 is provided with a flow rate control section (not shown) as a function section, wherein in case that the supply rate of the water to be treated by the turbine pump 353A to the pre-treatment filtration device 34 1s too large, the opening degree of the flow-rate control valve 191s adjusted, based on a flow rate signal from the flow rate sensor

The complex desalination system 100B in the present embodiment is different from the complex desalination system 100A mn that the control unit 63 of a control device 6 controls a later-described auxiliary filtration pump (second pump) 33B and that a further pipe 831) 1s connected from an intake tank 32 to a junction point P6 with the pipe 838. as shown in FIG. 3 wherein the pipe 83D is provided with an auxiliary filtration pump 338.

[0044]
The function of the control unit 63 is basically the same as that of the control unit 63 in the first embodiment. However, in case that the supply rate of the water to be treated by a turbine pump 33A to a pre-treatment filtration device 34 is too large, a flow rate control section (not shown) as the function section adjusts the opening degree of a flow-rate control valve 19, based on a flow rate signal from a flow rate sensor S13 and returns a surplus water to be treated to an intake tank 32 through a return pipe 83C.
Conversely, in case that the supply rate of the water to be treated by the turbine pump 33A to the pre-treatment filtration device 34 is small, the above-described flow rate control section of the control unit 63 starts an auxiliary filtration pump 33B, and controls the rotation speed of a motor not shown that drives the auxiliary filtration pump 33B, based on a flow rate signal from the flow rate sensor 513 so that the total supply rate of the water to be treated by the turbine pump 33A and the awaliary filtration pump 338 becomes a predetermined flow rate. 10045]
Incidentally, the pump capacity of the auxiliary filtration pump 338 is smaller than the pump capacity of the filtration pump 33 in the basic embodiment, and the power requirement in operating the auxihary filtration pump 338 is reduced from the power requirement in the case of the basic embodiment.
[0046]
In the above description. the flow rate control section of the control unit 63 performs start and stop of the auxiliary Altration pump 338, control of the rotation speed of the auxiliary filtration pump 338 in operation, and adjustment of the opening degree of the flow-rate control valve 19, based on a flow-rate signal from the flow-rate sensor 313 provided at the pipe 83B on the downstream side of the junction point P6, however. arrangement is not limited thereto,

That is, in case that a flow rate indicated by the flow rate sensor ST3A 1s larger than or equal to a predetermined flow rate, the auxiliary filtration pump 338 15 made in a stop state, and the flow rate of the water to be treated to be supplied to the pre-treatment filtration device 34 1s controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the flow-rate control valve 189. Conversely, in case that a flow rate indicated by the flow rate sensor S13A is smaller than the predetermined flow rate, the flow-rate control valve 19 1s completely closed and the auxiliary filtration pump 338 1s started. Then, the rotation speed of the auxiliary filtration pump 33B is controlled so that the total value of a flow rate indicated by the flow rate sensor S13A and a flow rate indicated by the flow rate sensor $138 becomes the predetermined flow rate, and the flow rate of the water to be treated to be supplied to the pre-treatment filtration device 34 1s thus controlled.
[0047]
According to the present embodiment, in either case that the flow rate of the water to be treated supplied from the intake tank 32 by the turbine pump 233A driven by the non-permeate water C 1s larger or smaller than the predetermined flow rate of the water to he treated to be supplied to the pre-treatment filtration device 34, the flow rate is flexibly controlled by the above-described flow rate control section of the control unit 63, which thereby achieves a target flow rate of the product water E.

The flow rate control section (not shown) as the function section of the control unit 61 has the same function as the control unit 61 in the basic embodiment, and controls the flow rate of the non-permeate water C from the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16. Corresponding to an increase in the turbine inlet pressure of the non-permeate water C from the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16 applied at the pressurized water inlet 33c¢ of the turbine pump 33A, the turbine inlet flow rate (iter/min) of the non permeate water C from the low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane device 16 also increases, Herein, as shown by TABLE 1 {though ‘the characteristics of the discharge pressure of the water to be treated vs. the discharge flow rate of the water to be treated shown in the columns after the second left column in TABLE 1 should be read as ‘characteristics of the discharge pressure of the seawater vs. the discharge flow rate of the seawater’), when the turbine inlet flow rates with respect to the respective values of the turbine inlet pressure of the non-permeate water
