A primary reason for flux decline during the initial period of a membrane separation process is concentration polarization of the solute at the membrane surface. The objective of the present study was to analyze and model concentration polarization in spiral-wound seawater membrane elements. In part

The objective of the present study was to analyze and model concentration polarization in spiral-wound seawater membrane elements. In particular, the influence of feed temperature, salinity and flow rate on permeate flow and salinity was evaluated. Membrane lifetime and permeate fluxes are primarily
