Membrane desalination

In this paper, authors breakdown the specific energy consumption for seawater and brackish water desalination in an attempt to quantify the value of high permeability membranes on specific energy consumption for desalination. The trends from the analysis presented in this paper show that in both seawa

While the fuel cost has increased in the past years, the desalinated water demand has also increased sharply, especially in the deserted areas. The challenge is to be able to meet such future demand, minimizing the water production costs. The desalination concepts have evolved, achieving substantial

Reverse osmosis is widely applied to water desalination because of the relatively low cost of the process. Besides the well defined role that this technology plays in the desalination scenario, in the last years, from all over the world, demand for lower costs and higher quality of water has been ad
