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 ...
Organic fouling in forward osmosis: A comprehensive review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Organic fouling in the forward osmosis process is complex and influenced by different parameters in the forward osmosis such as type of feed and draw solution, operating conditions, and type of membrane. In this article, ...
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 ...
Optimization of magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for high water flux in forward osmosis
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, bare iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method and used as a draw solute in forward osmosis. The synthesis conditions of the nanoparticles were optimized using the Box-Behnken ...
An enhanced electrocoagulation process for the removal of fe and mn from municipal wastewater using dielectrophoresis (Dep)
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
In this study the removal of Fe and Mn from primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induced a dielectrophoretic (DEP) ...
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) ...
A novel electrocoagulation electrode configuration for the removal of total organic carbon from primary treated municipal wastewater
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) from a primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induces a ...
Numerical study on the damping characteristics of a shock absorber valve utilizing different velocities through CFD analysis
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Shock absorbers or hydraulic dampers are power dissipating devices. The fluid flow inside the damper is governed by predefined passages. The damping effect is accomplished by the resistance of oil to flow through the ...
Energy harvesting from railway vibrations - A numerical study based on beam-on-elastic-foundation under quasi-static loading
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The objective of this paper is to investigate energy harvesting of train-induced rail
vibrations and to provide a comparison between various feasible harvesting locations based on
the expected electrical power output. ...
3D synchrotron computed tomography study on the influence of fines on gas driven fractures in Sandy Sediments
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Production of methane from hydrate-bearing sediments requires hydrate dissociation for releasing
mobile methane gas in sediments prior to gas production operations. Fines may migrate through or
clog the pore space of ...
