Thermo-Economic Assessment of Photovoltaic/Thermal Pan-Els-Powered Reverse Osmosis Desalination Unit Combined with Preheating Using Geothermal Energy

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Recently, the reverse osmosis (RO) process is widely used in the field of desalinating brackish water and seawater to produce freshwater, but the disadvantage of using this technology is the increase in the rates of electrical energy consumption ...

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

Comprehensive Evaluation of a Hybrid Forward Osmosis - Reverse Osmosis System for Wastewater Treatment, Desalination, and Energy Recovery

open access: yesJournal of Water and Environment Technology
Forward osmosis (FO) technology, though gaining interest in the last two decades, is still regarded as non-economically viable option. In the light of the recent advances in FO membrane technology and potential benefits of its integration with reverse ...

Operational Optimization of Large-Scale Parallel-Unit SWRO Desalination Plant Using Differential Evolution Algorithm

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
A large-scale parallel-unit seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant contains many reverse osmosis (RO) units. If the operating conditions change, these RO units will not work at the optimal design points which are computed before the plant is built ...

Recycling Reverse Osmosis Membranes: Addressing the Challenges of Non-Biodegradability and Waste Generation [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Industry and Sustainable Development
Non-biodegradable waste accumulation is a crucial environmental concern. One of the major drawbacks of modern desalination plants is the massive quantities of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes solid waste.

Design of reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment networks subject to fouling

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2004
Identifying the optimal design for an RO membrane network is not straightforward when significant fouling occurs. The most robust optimal network design will feature the minimal capital and operating costs over the anticipated lifetime of the plant, and is therefore strongly dependent on the fouling behaviour and associated mitigation.
