Process simulation

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

Fouling is one of the most serious problems in seawater desalination using reverse osmosis (SWRO) which is important to lower the production cost of desalinated water. For efficient operation of the SWRO plant, accurate models are crucial to decide the optimal operating condition and cleaning operat

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
