Optimization of multiple fuel utilization options in Tri-generation systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This work investigates the design of optimal tri-generation systems for heat, power and water production via multiple fuel selections, thus aiming to reduce the reliance on fossil fuel consumption. Generally speaking, ...
Modeling of forward osmosis process using artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict the permeate flux
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANN) are black box models that are becoming more popular than transport-based models due to their high accuracy and less computational time in predictions. The literature shows a lack of ANN ...
Artificial neural network modeling of wastewater treatment and desalination using membrane processes: A review
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
The freshwater scarcity is causing a major challenge due to the growing global population. The brackish water and seawater are the biggest sources of water on the planet. Therefore, using desalination and water treatment ...
Nanoparticles functionalized ceramic membranes: fabrication, surface modification, and performance
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Article Review)
Membrane technologies are used intensively for desalination and wastewater treatment. Water filtration using ceramic membranes exhibited high performance compared with polymeric membranes due to various properties such as ...
Brine reject dilution with treated wastewater for indirect desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process was suggested as a pretreatment to a multi-stage flashing (MSF) plant to reduce the environmental impact of brine discharge and the chemicals used. Yet, there is no study investigating the ...
Performance of the pressure assisted forward osmosis-msf hybrid desalination plant
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
An osmotically driven membrane process was proposed for seawater pretreatment in a multi-stage flashing (MSF) thermal plant. Brine reject from the MSF plant was the draw solution (DS) in the forward osmosis (FO) process ...
Modeling and sensitivity analysis of the forward osmosis process to predict membrane flux using a novel combination of neural network and response surface methodology techniques
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process is an emerging technology that has been considered as an alternative to desalination due to its low energy consumption and less severe reversible fouling. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...
Quantifying and reducing concentration polarization in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is an efficient water purification technique because of its high selectivity and permeability. During RO operation, rejection of solutes at the membrane surface leads to generation of a concentration ...
An overview of water desalination systems integrated with renewable energy sources
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article Review)
Nowadays, the growing world population, climate change, pollution, rising consumer demand, and resource exploitation have contributed to a freshwater shortage. Hence, water desalination is heavily used for freshwater ...
Desalination in the GCC countries- a review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are located in one of the most arid regions in the world with very less freshwater resources, and hence depending on desalination plants to tackle the water scarcity and satisfy ...
