In coastal areas with a shortage of fresh drinking water, but enough wind, the combination of wind energy and reverse osmosis (RO) may provide a sustainable way to produce drinking water. Especially in remote areas the combination is also cost effective. At the moment there are already systems that

Concentrate of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis installations is an increasing problem, especially for inland membrane installations. Introduction of membrane filtration in The Netherlands is severely hindered by the concentrate problem. Two approaches are viable for solving or reducing the concen

In this paper the relationship between liquid velocity and the concentration of components in the premeate is described for capillary nanofiltration (NF) membranes. Capillary NF combines the advantages of NF — good retention of bivalent ions and DOC — with the advantages of capillary membranes — rob
