Combined influence of temperature and flow rate of feeds on the performance of forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The effect of the membrane orientation, feeds flow rate, feeds temperature, and combining effect of both temperature and flow rate on the membrane flux was investigated in order to enhance the performance of forward osmosis ...
A hybrid electro-coagulation/forward osmosis system for treatment of produced water
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Oil and gas exploration produce large volumes highly contaminated produced water (PW) which exhibits a major environmental challenge. This work investigates the application of a novel hybrid system by combining electro-coagulation ...
Evaluation of ultrafiltration and multimedia filtration as pretreatmeprocess for forward osmosis
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
In order to reduce scaling in a multistage flash (MSF) desalination plant, the brine reject can be diluted using forward osmosis (FO) before recycling. In this FO process, the brine is used as the draw solution (DS) and ...
Forward osmosis feasibility and potential future application for desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Forward Osmosis has been intensively investigated for seawater desalination in the past decade. However, the application of technology is still limited apart from a number of pilot and small commercial plants. Initially, ...
A novel empirical method for predicting concentration polarization in forward osmosis for single and multicomponent draw solutions
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Concentration polarization is one of the inherent problems in forward osmosis membrane process. A quantitative evaluation of concentration polarization is therefore vital to understand its impact on the performance of the ...
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 ...
Dilution of seawater using dewatered construction water in a hybrid forward osmosis system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, dewatered construction water was used for the first time as the feed solution in a combined pretreatment-forward osmosis process to dilute seawater (i.e. draw solution) for further desalination. It was found ...
Recent developments in forward osmosis membranes using carbon-based nanomaterials
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article Review)
Contamination and industrial development are among the reasons for water quality deterioration beyond treatability by conventional processes. Unfortunately, conventional water and wastewater treatment technologies are not ...
Thermo-economic assessment of forward osmosis as pretreatment to boost the performance and sustainability of multi-effect distillation for seawater desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This work presents the thermodynamic and techno-economic assessment of a forward osmosis – multi-effect distillation (FO-MED) system able to improve the thermal performance of the MED seawater desalination process and ...
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 ...
