In the past few years, the commercialization of small scale reverse osmosis (RO) plant for low total dissolved solids (TDS) brackish and contaminated groundwater water desalination offered an alternative solution to obtain drinking water with TDS lower than 500 mg/L. Due to rapid development in membrane technology the technical and economical usefulness of RO process has been improved. In the current research work, a prototype Reverse Osmosis (RO) wastewater treatmentplant has been developed and its performance was evaluated to produce the safe and drinkable water at local small community.Salt rejection and ermeatewater flowrate are the key performance parameters. These performance parameters are influenced by other variable parameters such as applied feed pressure, temperature, recovery and feed water salinity.The RO plant performance has been evaluated through testing different water quality parameters; including physical, chemical and biological analysis of the treated sample. The plant was operated by varying feed water pressures and feed water salinity which indicated that the product water has the highest quality and maximum permeateflow rate at 25 bar of applied feed water pressure for feed water salinity upto 4000 mg/L. The water quality results indicate that permeate obtained after treatment has excellent quality free physical and microbial contaminants.
