Development of lower cost seawater desalination processes using nanofiltration technologies — A review

Desalination, 2015
The implementation of seawater desalination, a key strategy to secure fresh water supply in arid and coastal regions, is greatly thwarted by its high cost relating to high energy and equipment cost associated with pressure and the high system or membrane

Seawater desalination by electrodialysis

Desalination, 1978
Abstract The first seawater desalination plant by electrodialysis in the world started its operation in September, 1974 at Noshima island of Hofu city, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. The capacity of the plant is 120 m3/day and the plant has been supplying fresh water from the sea for the 800 inhabitants of the island. Batchwise operation is utilized to

The Natural Vacuum Desalination Technology in Seawater Desalination

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Seawater desalination technology is an important way to solve the freshwater shortage problem. Natural vacuum desalination (NVD) technology generates very low pressure environment in the headspace of 10 meters high water column. The weight of the water column is balanced by atmospheric pressure, and low-temperature desalination proceeds in the ...

Integrated membrane systems for seawater desalination

Desalination, 2006
In the present work, seven different flow sheets for seawater desalination process have been analyzed. In each of them, except for the first (FS1) constituted by the only RO unit, different membrane units have been integrated in order to reach all the important benefits in the logic of process intensification: RO operates on NF permeate in FS2; both MF
