Losing Pressure
In a positive displacement pump, flow is directly related to RPM and pressure by the restriction of the flow in the discharge line. Once the system pressure is set, any change in flow will result in a change in pressure. These changes in flow can occur from certain conditions in the pump inlet line, at the pump, the pump drive or in the pump discharge line.

Selecting a Pump for Reverse Osmosis-Seawater Desalination
Reverse osmosis (RO) has become a significant process used in the purification of water. Selecting the correct pump is a significant step in a well-designed and properly operating system. Although the pump is a relatively small part of the overall cost of an RO system, expenses resulting from downtime and inefficiency can quickly diminish the productivity of the system and your return on investment. Due to the corrosive atmosphere and high demands on these seawater desalination systems, special attention is required in the pump selection process. There are several key factors that will help to ensure optimum pump and system performance in your desalination system or any reciprocating pump system.
