In this study, abstraction, desalination and recharge method and SEAWAT numerical model are used to investigate seawater intrusion repulsion in a hypothetical two-dimensional coastal aquifer to understand the relation of seawater intrusion with abstraction, desalination and recharge parameters (i.e. abstraction/recharge rate, wells distance and depth). Abstraction, desalination and recharge con...

Global climate change and variability have a negative impact on a water supply and quality in remote areas by reducing water availability and contaminant dilution. This will continue to be exacerbated by limited and inadequate water supply, insufficient water treatment and low infrastructure. Thus, an economic desalination system with a small scale and footprint for such regions is strongly dem...

College of Engineering, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh-535005, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***-------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract-Desalination is a process which is used to convert the salt water or saline water into usable water using different techniques. The energy utilize...

The escalating freshwater demand is stimulating the researchers to optimize performance of desalination technologies. current study presents exergoeconomic optimization a forward feed multi-effect (FF-MED) system under two configurations i.e., conventional MED and with energy recovery (MED-ER). A detailed numerical model concerning energy, exergy, component-based analysis employed estimate cons...

In the rapidly developing shale gas industry, managing produced water is a major challenge for maintaining the profitability of shale gas extraction while protecting public health and the environment. We review the current state of practice for produced water management across the United States and discuss the interrelated regulatory, infrastructure, and economic drivers for produced water reus...

In this paper, a simulation model of a spray flash desalination system is proposed. In the spray flash desalination system, the freshwater is made from the evaporation-condensation process, i.e., evaporation of warm surface seawater in a flash chamber and condensation of the generated vapor by deep cool seawater. A simulation model of the spray flash desalination system is constructed by using ...

This paper presents a hybrid solar desalination system consisting of a humidification dehumidification unit and single stage flashing evaporation unit. The hybrid solar desalination system was studied numerically. The heat and mass transfer and flow field is modeled theoretically in two-dimensional using finite difference scheme. For different operating and weather conditions the fresh water pr...

Brackish water (BW) desalination is a primary path to relieve the shortage of water. As one of the BW desalination methods, reverse osmosis (RO) technology has advantage for both technology and process procedure. The expounding of this research studied or reviewed recent years, reverse osmosis membrane, energy recovery, new energy and application technology in BW desalination of RO at home and ...
