Configuration – Internally Staged Design • Principle: Elements with the lowest production and highest rejection in the first positions and elements with the highest production in the rear positions of the vessel • Advantages vs. conventional configuration • Better hydraulics resulting in lower flux in the front modules: • Lower fouling potential -> lower energy required • Less cleaning needed -> longer membrane life • Lower energy requirement for a given production and/or higher production for a given pressure due to the use of high flow elements in the rear positions Internally Staged Design (ISD) Conventional
