Reverse Osmosis System Analysis (ROSA) model is used to simulate a brackish water desalination system under different feed flow and number of membrane elements. The design is one stage with two pressure vessel configuration to provide at least 35 m3/day of drinking water for 110 households in Mersing, Johor, Malaysia. The design showed highest permeate flow of 45.08 m3/d, minimum specific energy of 1.6kWh/m3, and maximum recovery of 58.55% with permeate TDS of 346.51mg/l and desalination cost of 0.19$/ m3. These design results are found at feed flow of 77m3/d, feed pressure of 27bar and by using 8 elements of membrane in each pressure vessel.
