Reverse osmosis membrane technology has developed over the past 40 years to a 44%
share in world desalting production capacity, and an 80% share in the total number of …

A number of seawater desalination technologies have been developed during the last
several decades to augment the supply of water in arid regions of the world. Due to the …

In this work, a comparison of the commonly deployed commercial desalination technologies
worldwide—multistage flash (MSF), multieffect evaporation and reverse osmosis (RO)—is …

Energy consumption is a key factor which influences the freshwater production cost in
reverse osmosis (RO) process. Energy recovery and reuse options have already been very …

Desalination technologies require high energy consumption. As a consequence, the
environmental load associated with the operating stage is much higher (more than 90%) …

The design, construction and testing of a photovoltaic-powered reverse-osmosis (PV-RO)
desalination system is presented The system operates from seawater and requires no …

This paper presents the major design criteria and features for the 13.3 million gallons per
day (MGD) seawater reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant that is currently under …

A novel method for desalination of saline water through manipulation of electric-double-
layer (EDL) in the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanochannels to form the ion depletion …

Each data point from the above fluxand-recovery matrix was input to a net present value
(NPV) model to determine the most affordable point (MAP) of operation. As part of …

A two-chamber hydraulic energy recovery unit with a programmable controller and a data
acquisition system was set up. Tap water was used as the working fluid instead of the actual …
