Review on reverse electrodialysis process-a pioneering technology for energy generation by salinity gradient

Frontiers in Membrane Science and Technology
Blue energy obtained by salinity gradient can be generated by mixing two saline solutions having different salt concentrations. According to researchers working in this area, about 80% of the current global electricity demand could potentially be covered

Pressure Retarded Osmosis: a Membrane Process for Environmental Sustainability

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2016
Salinity Gradient Power (SGP) based on the controlled mixing between two solutions at different salinities is a viable alternative to produce power from renewable sources. Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) is one of the most promising technologies proposed

Feasibility of using pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) to replace diesel in Bella Coola British Columbia

, 2022
Can pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) reduce or eliminate diesel dependency in Bella Coola, British Columbia? This study looked into the possibility of using PRO to replace diesel in Bella Coola by analyzing the energy potential of six watersheds in the region, comparing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of PRO to current diesel prices, and ...

Modelling, simulation and optimisation of seawater reverse osmosis – pressure-retarded osmosis (SWRO–PRO) hybrid units for seawater desalination

Journal of Engineering Mathematics
Abstract Reverse osmosis (RO) is the most widely used membrane-based desalination technology. However, it still requires a significant amount of energy to produce fresh water. The highly concentrated rejected solution of the RO process is typically wasted. The idea is to use it for pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO).

Comparison of 2D and 3D materials on membrane modification for improved pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process

Chemical Engineering Science
Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is a sustainable process that convert Gibbs free energy to osmotic energy by mixing two solutions of different salinities. The main challenges in the design of PRO membranes are obtaining a membrane with high water permeability and low salt permeability but also very high mechanical strength because the PRO process ...

A preliminary model of water and salt transport in a laboratory scale pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) module

Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract Nowadays, more and more attention is being paid to the production of green energy. Recently, energy from salinity gradients has also attracted interest. One such process that can generate useful work is the pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO), which uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate the feed and pressurized draw solutions ...
