    Abstract: Impeller blades configuration is directly affecting the performance of the pump. Using splitter blades are one of the techniques that used to improve hydraulic performance. These modifications in the blades design are greatly affecting the dynamic performance of the pump. Splitting the blade changes its center of mass and makes it out of alignment ... Show More

    Abstract: Over the last ten years, reverse osmosis (RO) desalination technique became the most common and popular technology to desalinate brackish and seawater due to its low cost and simplicity. Great efforts have been conducted to reduce the energy consumption in reverse osmosis plants. One of the most efficient techniques is the pressure exchanger (PX) w... Show More
