Which outcome occurs when exceeding back pressure limits in reverse osmosis desalination processing?

💡 Explanation

Membrane damage occurs because exceeding back pressure in RO causes reverse permeate flow, resulting in membrane delamination; this mechanism reduces flux significantly. Therefore, membrane failure occurs, rather than improvements which require controlled forward pressure.
