Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination currently plays a vital role in addressing the critical and
growing issue of water scarcity through desalination of brackish waters (BWRO) and …

abstract Desalination through reverse osmosis (RO) of cooling tower blowdown water
streams has been increasing over the years. Recycling of cooling tower blowdown streams …

This study introduces a novel approach for predicting Silt Density Index (SDI) values in
desalination systems by combining Gradient Boosting with the Salp Swarm Algorithm …

This study aimed to quantify the effect of membrane surface porosity on particulate fouling
predicted by the MFI-UF method at constant flux. Firstly, the surface porosity of …

In this study, the removal of particulate, organic and biological fouling potential was
investigated in the two-stage dual media filtration (DMF) pretreatment of a full-scale …

Several potential growth methods have been developed to monitor biological/organic
fouling potential in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), but to date the correlation between …

The frequency and severity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been increasing due to the
climate change. Algal organic matter (AOM), the primary contributor to HABs, causes …

In recent years, pressure-assisted forward osmosis (PAFO) process has been studied to
overcome the low water productivity in FO-RO hybrid seawater desalination. Our research …

Seawater desalination is increasingly being used as a means to augment freshwater
supplies in regions with high water stress, and reverse osmosis is increasingly the …

Antifouling paints are applied to prevent the growth of marine biofouling. In Indonesia, that
paint is widely used for ship which commonly used copper-based biocide. In fact, there is no …
