rinçage
I would read it as meaning the same as 'flushing' — in the event of a major power failure, electricity is required at least for long enough to flush out the RO plant (presumably to avoid damage if it is left unflushed)

Philippe Etienne
: Yes for flushing, not sure about rinçage or vidange...

Merci, Philippe ! I have come across 'rinçage' used for 'flushing' in a number of FR > EN docs; certainly NOT 'vidange', though

maintien de l'écoulement
Reverse osmosis occurs when the water is moved across the membrane against the concentration gradient, from lower concentration to higher concentration. To illustrate, imagine a semipermeable membrane with fresh water on one side and a concentrated aqueous solution on the other side. If normal osmosis takes place, the fresh water will cross the membrane to dilute the concentrated solution. In reverse osmosis, pressure is exerted on the side with the concentrated solution to force the water molecules across the membrane to the fresh water side.

Tony M
: Yes, but the point is, this 'flushing' is not the normal operating mode, but something that has to be done in the event of an emergency shut-down for power loss.

Sure, that has to be done in case of emergency, to maintain the normal run
