As a means of optimizing desalination processes, site-specificity in the determination of seawater quality conditions is a crucial point for improving the overall energy efficiency of a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) process. To this end, field studies were carried out at 16 sampling sites along th

This study proposes a new operation methodology for energy saving in the Fujairah seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant, as the optimum feed pressure is determined at the controlled operating temperature. To this end, two functional models were developed by genetic programming (GP) using two-year op

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination is rising as an alternative solution for the water shortage problem which is more severe than before. In this study, a package of process models was developed and tested by four-year SWRO plant operation data obtained from Fujairah in UAE, as a tool not o
