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 ...
متن کاملNovel Membrane Materials for Reverse Osmosis Desalination
The use of solvents in desalination processes limits the use of certain materials in the construction of the reverse osmosis membranes. Therefore now the research effort has focused on improving new materials. In particular, nanostructured materials will probably form the basis for new reverse osmosis membrane materials. This study makes a review of the new materials used for the construction o...
متن کاملA Fouling Index Reflecting Statistical Aspects of Fouling Process with Reverse Osmosis Desalination
Reverse osmosis membrane (RO) is becoming a most popular instrument to desalinate seawater as a result of new developments in membrane technology. The critical factor governing successful long-term reverse osmosis (RO) in desalination plants is fouling caused by the turbidity of seawater, such as by suspended solids, sparingly soluble salts, or biological growth. To reduce the turbidity, the se...
متن کاملMembrane Modeling for Simulation and Control of Reverse Osmosis in Desalination Plants
A mathematical model of Reverse Osmosis membranes is proposed for use in the testing and comparison of control strategies in Reverse Osmosis plants. The model has been developed so that it can be used within off-the-shelf software and the parameters are simple to obtain from available plant measurements. Some simulations of the proposed model show that it correctly reproduces the expected proce...
متن کاملSeawater Desalination by using Nanofiltration (NF) and Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis (BWRO) Membranes in Sequential Mode of Operation
In this study, the applicability of nanofiltration (NF) membranes as a pretreatment prior to reverse osmosis (RO) in seawater desalination was investigated. The membranes used wereNF270 and NF90 as the NF membranes, while the brackish water (BW) RO membrane BW30 was used as the RO membrane. In desalination tests, permeates of the NF membraneswere collected and used as the feed to th...
