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 ...
Recent advances in nanofibrous membranes: Production and applications in water treatment and desalination
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Desalination of seawater is a promising technique that contributes a reliable and abundant source of clean potable water. This review investigates the current status and forthcoming advancement in nanofiber technology, ...
Emerging Brine Management Approaches for Sustainable Desalination in the GCC Countries
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
The major technologies employed in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) based commercial desalination facilities are classified into two categories: the membrane-based (mostly reverse osmosis (RO)) and thermal-based (primarily ...
Assessment of water bodies of united arab emirates coastal sabkhas as potential sites for natural salinity gradient solar ponds
(
ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers
, 2008 , Article)
Increasing population and growing demands from both agriculture and industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) necessitate the need to provide inexpensive fresh water. The only feasible source of such water is desalination. ...
LIME: Long-Term Forecasting Model for Desalination Membrane Fouling to Estimate the Remaining Useful Life of Membrane
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Membrane fouling is one of the major problems in desalination processes as it can cause a severe drop in the quality and quantity of the permeate water. This paper presents a data-driven approach for long-term forecasting ...
