Evaluation of cellulose triacetate hollow fiber membrane for volume reduction of real industrial effluents through an osmotic concentration process: A pilot-scale study
( elsevier , 2021 , Article)The current article tackles the challenge of reducing wastewater volumes generated from the gas industry. A forward osmosis (FO) pilot unit, deployed as osmotic concentration (OC) process without the draw solution (DS) ... -
Evaluation of polymeric adsorbents via fixed-bed columns for emulsified oil removal from industrial wastewater
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Polymeric adsorbents (PAs) have been gaining increased attention for application in industrial wastewater (WW) treatment. However, most studies on evaluating PAs specifically for emulsified oil removal are currently limited ... -
Evaluation of pretreatment and membrane configuration for pressure-retarded osmosis application to produced water from the petroleum industry
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) is a promising membrane technology for harnessing the osmotic energy of saline solutions. PRO is typically considered with seawater/river water pairings however greater energy can be recovered ... -
Field evaluation of membrane distillation technologies for desalination of highly saline brines
( Elsevier , 2014 , Article)Membrane distillation (MD) is a hybrid thermal-membrane desalination process that uses low-grade waste heat and hydrophobic membrane to produce high quality distillate. The MD process can treat highly saline brines that ... -
Pilot Scale Osmotic Concentration Process for Reducing Wastewater Volumes from Gas Processing Facilities in Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Over the past 10-15 years, there has been increasing attention in the development of forward osmosis (FO) technology as a low-energy technical solution to wastewater treatment through the exploitation of the natural osmosis ... -
Pilot-scale investigation of flowrate and temperature influence on the performance of hollow fiber forward osmosis membrane in osmotic concentration process
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article)Forward osmosis (FO) relying on the osmotic pressure difference across semi-permeable membrane draws permeate by the effect of saline draw solution (DS) turning diluted and leaving the feed solution (FS) concentrated. ... -
The status of forward osmosis technology implementation
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article Review)The current review appraises the status of forward osmosis (FO) technology implementation and prospective commercial exploitation through examination of its energy consumption and other key process attributes compared with ...
