Design of a Solar Powered Reverse Osmosis System in Egypt

Scarcity of fresh water, forced many countries to get their water needs, or part it, by means saline desalination. Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are useful tools in this concern. In case the grid electricity is not available costly, photovoltaic (PV) power necessary derive RO systems. The present paper concerned with providing a methodology for complete sizing and design reverse (PVRO) system Egypt. Egypt has very favorable solar energy. A computer program was constructed solve mathematical equations model numerical values. capable calculating irradiation any city Calculations selection all connected pumps, peak PV needed, actual area were performed different demands ranging from 1-100 m3/day, various total dissolved solids (TDSs) 5000, 15000, 30000 mg/l. cost PVRO also determined. concern related desalination energy, which responsible our existence. work aims toward sustainable clean environment via utilizing
