Enhancing the efficiency of reverse osmosis (RO) applications through the design andmodification of spacer geometries for spiral wound membrane (SWM) modules remainsa challenging task. In this work, four 3D feed spacer geometries with different degrees of“floating” characteristics are studied using...
