Modeling and Optimization of Membrane Process for Salinity Gradient Energy Production
Separations, 2021 When hydraulic pressure was added on the feed side of the membrane in the otherwise conventional pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process, the production rate of the salinity gradient energy could be significantly increased by manipulating the hydraulic ...

Mass Transport in Osmotically Driven Membrane Processes
Membranes, 2021 Forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) are the two operational modes for osmotically driven membrane processes (ODMPs). ODMPs have gained increasing popularity in the laboratory over the years; however, OMDPs have not been applied in ...

Investigation of the fouling effect on a commercial semi-permeable membrane in the pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process [PDF]
Separation and Purification Technology, 2018 Abstract One of the main challenges for generating osmotic power by using PRO technology is the membrane fouling which reduces the permeate flux and consequently increases the cost and decreases the osmotic power generation. In this research, different feed waters with various qualities were used to investigate the effect of fouling on a commercial ...

Aspects of Mathematical Modelling of Pressure Retarded Osmosis
Membranes, 2016 In power generating terms, a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) energy generating plant, on a river entering a sea or ocean, is equivalent to a hydroelectric dam with a height of about 60 meters.

Stand-alone seawater RO (reverse osmosis) desalination powered by PV (photovoltaic) and PRO (pressure retarded osmosis) [PDF]
Energy, 2015 Abstract A novel RO seawater desalination plant powered by PV (Photovoltaic) and PRO (PVROPRO) is proposed and the feasibility of two stand-alone schemes, SSRO (salinity-solar powered RO) operation and SRO (salinity powered RO) operation, are investigated. First, the stand-alone feasibility of the plant is thermodynamically analysed.
