Your inputs
Change any value to update the result instantly.
Permeate recovery rate
75 %
Concentrate flow
25 L/min
Feed flow
100 L/min
Permeate flow
75 L/min
Formula and working
Recovery % = permeate flow ÷ feed flow × 100
- 1
Collect the inputs
Feed flow rate = 100 L/min; Permeate flow rate = 75 L/min
- 2
Apply the formula
Recovery % = permeate flow ÷ feed flow × 100
- 3
Result
Permeate recovery rate = 75 %
