A desalination plant (10) is disclosed which includes a pump for pumping water at a pressure of between 50 and 65 bar to a generally cylindrical filter element(30) which includes a plurality of reverse osmosis membranes defining salt passages, immediately upstream of the filter element(30) there is a disc(40) with a plurality of holes(44) in it The disc(40) forms an obstruction which causes a pressure drop between the upstream side thereof and the downstream side, it also divides the water flow into a series of separate streams which impinge on the end of the filter element and flow into the salt passages, the water downstream of the obstruction is not only at a lower pressure that the water upstream of the obstruction but also is flowing turbulently, the disc(40) and filter element(30) are in a cylindrical casing(12) the brine which emerges from the filter element, and which is still at a substantial pressure, can be fed through a device such as a peptone wheel to recover domo of the residual energy therefrom
