Normalized Permeate Flow (NPF) - Reverse Osmosis

Advanced Reverse Osmosis Technology

Normalized Permeate Flow - NFP is a calculation that allows the comparison of a measured permeate flow rate to a standard (or start up) condition. Permeate flow is a function of Net Driving Pressure (NDP), temperature and membrane condition. By normalizing measured permeate flow for observed NDP and temperature, a measure is obtained that can be used to compare the condition of the membrane to original start up conditions. A decrease in NPF of 10-15% indicates that membrane cleaning is required.
