[0026] The energy recovery device 5 can adopt a PX pressure exchanger or a turbine type energy recovery device.

[0027] In the technical solution, the seawater is branched to enter the reverse osmosis device 1, improving the operation efficiency. The seawater after the pretreatment is qualified is transported through the low-pressure seawater mother pipe 7, and the seawater flow is divided into two parts, one part flows to the third pipeline 71, is preliminarily pressurized by the low-pressure booster pump 3, and then is lifted to the pressure required by the reverse osmosis device 1 by the high-pressure pump 2 to enter the pressure center mother pipe 6, and then enters the reverse osmosis device 1 through the first pipeline 11, and the other part of the seawater enters the energy recovery device 5 through the second pipeline 51, the energy recovery device 5 exchanges pressure with the concentrated seawater in the energy recovery device 5 and flows to the reverse osmosis device 1 after being lifted by the high-pressure booster pump 4. The low-pressure booster pump 3 is controlled by frequency conversion, and the outlet pressure can be adjusted according to the seawater quality to ensure the constant water production. The high-pressure pump 2 is controlled by power frequency to ensure that it is in the high-efficiency range of the water pump.
