Membrane performance data under real-time operating conditions is then used to rapidly detect membrane fouling, fouling rate, and fouling causes. Subsequently, controller-based system-generated actions are employed to stop fouling and recover from or slow it down. Furthermore, operator intervention steps are anticipated, planned, and scheduled, if necessary, to restore optimal system operating conditions. The end result is a novel, energy-efficient, and advanced (machine learning) reverse osmosis system for brackish water desalination and fouling management.
