This means that IK-110 could reduce the frequency of cleaning to onethird. Adding IK-110 ensured a recovery ratio 35 days after the start of operation that was 12% higher than in the case of the Blank line. In addition, the line with IK-110 added could achieve a higher recovery ratio and a high flux in spite of higher load conditions than the Blank line. mEriTS ObTaiNEd bY appLYiNG iK-110 l Effects obtained from application of IK-110 in Seawater Desalination RO plant: l Prevention of reduction of flux and recovery ratio l Increase in power efficiency due to increase in flux l Reduction of frequency of RO membrane cleaning 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Operation time (days) Figure 5.
