Reverse Osmosis System Analysis (ROSA)
• What is it?
ROSA—the industry-leading RO system design tool for
decades—makes it easy for you to design a reverse
osmosis plant to meet your required water treatment
specifications.
• How does it work?
Enter the concentration of ions in the feed water, select
the type of FILMTEC™ element, and try different vessel
configurations. ROSA does all the complex math for you
and produces a complete, but simple-to-understand,
report predicting the water quality and flow rate.

ROSA – Introducing Feed water analysis
Introduce the water analysis data
Choose Feed water type 1. Check the box: Specify individual solutes
2. Introduce the concentrations
17
Choosing feedwater type
Feed water type Description
RO Permeate SDI<1 Very-low-salinity, high-purity waters (HPW) coming from the first RO systems
(double-pass RO system) or the polishing stage in ultrapure water (UPW) systems
with TDS up to 50 mg/L.
Well Water SDI<3 Water from a ground source that has been accessed via well. Usually, has low
fouling potential.
Surface Water with Dow Ultrafiltration Water from rivers, river estuaries and lakes. In most cases it has high TSS, NOM,
SDI<2.5 BOD and colloids. Frequently, surface water quality varies seasonally.
Surface Supply SDI<3
Surface Supply SDI<5
Wastewater with Dow Ultrafiltration Industrial and municipal wastewaters have a wide variety of organic and inorganic
SDI<2.5 constituents. Some types of organic components may adversely affect RO/NF
membranes, inducing severe flow loss and/or membrane degradation (organic
Wastewater with Generic Membrane
fouling).
Filtration SDI<3
Wastewater with Conventional
Pretreatment SDI<5
Seawater with Dow Ultrafiltration Seawater Dow Ultrafiltration as a pre-treatment
SDI<2.5
Seawater with Generic Membrane Well -water from a beach well with any type of pre-treatment
Filtration SDI<3 Seawater any with Generic Microfiltration/Ultrafiltration as a pre-treatment
Seawater (Open Intake) SDI<5 Open intake seawater with conventional pre-treatment

Designs of systems in
excess of the guidelines
results in a warning on the
ROSA Report.

Warnings and typical solutions –
For one stage systems
Design warning Solutions
Max. element permeate flow exceeded 3, 5, 7, 11
The feed flow greater than maximum 2 unless the feed flow is fixed, 3
Solutions Guide
1 Decrease system recovery
Increase the number of elements Reduce Temp (recommend
6 per PV (keeping the same APF*) 10 customer to reduce temp during
2 Increase system recovery pretreatment).
Solutions Guide
1 Decrease system recovery
6 Add backpressure in first and/or 10 Add booster pump in first or second stage
concentrate
2 Increase system recovery second stages permeate streams
Enable a recirculation loop: Pass Combine two element types: lower energy
5 1 Conc to Pass 1 Feed (normally 9 Install lower energy membranes or 13 elements in second or third stages
ISD with lower energy membranes
not used for SW appl.)
