Energy saving

In electrical installation and building services engineering the power factor is a major consideration in efficient building or system operation. It is the measure of how effectively your equipment is converting electric current from power generation network to useful power output. Your industry can

The efficiency of cross-flow microfiltration processes is limited by membrane fouling and concentration polarization leading to permeate flux decline during operation. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of static turbulence promoter on permeate flux during skim milk microfi

The Italian Ministry of Public Works has funded a study aimed at assessing the technical feasibility and financial viability of a disalination plant to be implemented in Agrigento, Sicily. The plant, with a design production capacity of 40,000 m3 and an estimated cost of € 120 million, will serve 19

Two major techniques are commercially used in different parts of the world: distillation and membrane processes. The dominant distillation process is multi-stage flash (MSF), and the main membrane process is reverse osmosis (RO). Although cost factors vary by site, the total cost of producing potabl

A hybrid latent heat storage and spray flash evaporation system has been devised in an attempt to develop an energy saving desalination system that stores intermittent thermal energy such as waste heat, solar heat or heat from the surplus steam of a power station at night and utilizes the stored ene

Energy recovery systems based on turbines activated by concentrate leaving the plant have been in operation in many reverse osmosis (RO) plants for many years. Other design approaches for RO plants save energy by reducing the energy demand for the desalination process itself. One of them is the pres
