    Abstract: A method for treating water high in sulfate includes passing the water at a temperature of 10° C. to 45° C. through a nanofiltration membrane module and a reverse osmosis membrane module in series such that the retentate stream from the nanofiltration membrane module is fed to the reverse osmosis membrane module. A first permeate stream from the nanofiltration membrane module has at least 90% lower sulfate content than the feed stream. A second permeate stream from the reverse osmosis membrane module has at least 95% lower sulfate content than the retentate stream from the nanofiltration membrane module. The first and second permeate streams are combined to form a treated stream containing less than 40 ppm sulfate. A system including the nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membrane modules in series is also disclosed.
