A comprehensive parametric technical and economic study on seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants was conducted to derive updated costs for seawater reverse osmosis plants ranging in capacity from 1000000 gpd to 5 million gpd at a Caribbean site and at a Continental U.S. site. The study considers hollowfiver and spiral-wound membranes in one and two-pass configurations, various seawater intakes (surface, water well, Ranney collector), arious high pressure pumping systems (centrifugal, positive displacement), optional energy recovery systems (Pelton wheel, reserve-running pumps, flow work exchanger), and operation and maintenance labor requirements. Process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, material lists, and plant layout diagrams were developed. Conceptual capital and operating cost estimates were prepared for the various base and parametric case plants to determine the product water costs.
