AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON A NEW HIGH-EFFICIENT SUPERCHARGER FOR SEAWATER REVERSE OSMOSIS DESALINATION DRIVEN DIRECTLY BY TIDAL ENERGY

Environmental life cycle assessment of seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant powered by renewable energy

This paper evaluates life cycle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of a Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant and assesses its performance under three power supply scenarios. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis is conducted for a plant located in Perth, Western Australia (WA). Input and output flows of SWRO plant are based on literature and Perth desalination plants. The Simapro Aus...

Sustainable Seawater Reverse Osmosis Desalination as Green Desalination in the 21st Century

Seawater reverse osmosis desalination (SWRO) requires less energy compared with the distillation method and thus is an important technology except Middle Eastern countries whereenergy costs are higher. Recently, even Middle Eastern countries where the distillation method is still a major technology, have begun adopting the RO method in new desalinationplants in line with government ...

Experimental Investigation of Energy Consumption and Performance of Reverse Osmosis Desalination using Design of Experiments Method

To control the quality of reverse osmosis (RO) product water and reduce operational costs and environmental impacts by increasing the system’s energy efficiency, it is necessary to identify the influence of process parameters on energy consumption and permeate water quality. This paper introduces a case study focused on the application of Design of Experiments (DOE) method in an industrial-scal...

Experimental Study of Humidification-Dehumidification (HDH) Seawater Desalination Driven by Solar Energy

Seawater desalination for agriculture by integrated forward and reverse osmosis Improved product water quality for potentially less energy

Seawater desalination for agricultural irrigation will be an important contributor to satisfying growing water demands in water scarce regions. Irrigated agriculture for food production drives global water demands, which are expected to increase while available supplies are further diminished. Implementation of reverse osmosis, the current leading technology for seawater desalination, has been ...
