... For the purposes of illustrating the sensitivity of membrane permeability on potential future energy reductions, the following system operating data is taken from "The Guidebook to Membrane Desalination Technology," p. 472, Balaban Desalination Publications, 2007: Average Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
