The increasing worldwide demand for freshwater production requires new and sustainable
processes to overcome the shortage of clean water. Reverse osmosis (RO) is regarded as …

Membrane filtration has become firmly established as a primary technology for ensuring the
purity, safety and/or efficiency of the treatment of water or effluents. In this paper, we review …

Over 100 papers were reviewed to elucidate factors influencing large-scale seawater
desalination plants with reverse osmosis networks (SWRO). This paper consists of subjects …

A novel global optimization algorithm to solve nonconvex problem is used to find the global
optimal design of reverse osmosis networks for seawater desalination. The objective is to …

The implementation of early-stage simulation tools, specifically computational fluid dynamics
(CFD), is an international and interdisciplinary trend that allows engineers to computer-test …

A mathematical model is developed for a spiral wound module for both forward osmosis
(FO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) applications. This model is obtained by …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) and forward osmosis (FO) are osmotically driven
membrane processes and emerging as viable methods for capturing clean energy and …

The osmotically driven membrane process, such as pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) or
forward osmosis (FO), assisted reverse osmosis (RO) hybrid systems are investigated for …

The forward osmosis-nanofiltration (FO-NF) process presents a potential alternative for the
treatment of wastewater effluents, compared to pressure-driven systems like reverse …

A process simulator has been developed to model and predict the performance of spiral-
wound membrane modules in pressure retarded osmosis processes. This has involved …
