Design and operating characteristics are analyzed for two pilot scale reverse osmosis plants. The first plant is installed in Sharjah to desalinate brackish water for a small community. The second plant is installed in Qatar to test the feasibility of desalting high-salinity seawater for irrigation

This paper considers the optimal design and operation of electrodialysis (ED) desalination plants. In general an ED plant aims to produce potable water from a high salinity source, like brackish water or high salinity water. The system is modelled mathematically as mixed-integer non-linear programmi

This study investigated the feasibility of the once-through (OT) MSF design for constructing large-capacity desalting plants rather than the conventional brine recycle (BR) MSF configuration. This was to explore the possibility of improving MSF process economics through the application of a simpler

In this paper, we investigate the possibility of adopting the Once-Through (OT- MSF) design in place of the conventional brine recycle (BR-MSF) design for the future, large scale desalination plants. It was assumed here that efficient anti-scale chemicals would be available. Thus, a top brine temper

A new membrane module concept, the submerged hollow fibre membrane, has been widely accepted for the wastewater membrane bioreactor. This paper focuses on operational considerations and design aspect of the submerged hollow fibre membrane module. Experiments with both crossflow and ‘dead-end’ submer

The modelling of membrane filtration processes is often conducted by applying black-box models or short-cut methods because of its complexity due to molecular interactions on and inside the membrane. The assumptions made for the short-cut-methods are applicable for reverse osmosis, whereas the simul

The objective of this work is to design a low-cost evaporator. The new type of evaporator suggested here is of the spray-type, i.e., spaying the seawater into fine droplets to evaporate the water. The cost of this type of evaporator is comparatively low because no heat exchangers are required. The e
