High-Pressure Reverse Osmosis for Industrial Water Recycling: Permeate-Sided Pressure Drop as Performance-Limiting Factor

Christine Kleffner et al.

Summary: Large amount of saline wastewater is generated in the chemical industry, causing significant burden to the ecosystem when disposed into rivers. In order to achieve circular economy and enable viable raw material recycling, energy-efficient concentration processes are essential. High-pressure reverse osmosis meets the criteria, but requires suitable membrane elements that can withstand exceptional operation conditions and provide sufficient performance. New requirements for the design of spiral-wound elements emerge as a result.

Techno-economic analysis of a hybrid solar-geothermal power plant integrated with a desalination system

Daniel Aviles et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a hybrid 5 MW power generation system combining concentrated solar thermal and solar photovoltaic technology, which increases efficiency by using hot water from a low-temperature geothermal source. The study examines the feasibility of including a thermal desalination technology that uses waste heat to produce clean water. Results show that incorporating the desalination system does not significantly increase costs, with the optimal electricity production ratio achieved when the photovoltaic system contributes 27.5% to total electricity generation. The minimum water production cost is around 40 cent/m(3).

Beneficiation of saline effluents from seawater desalination plants: Fostering the zero liquid discharge (ZLD) approach - A techno-economic evaluation

Argyris Panagopoulos

Summary: Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) and utilizing saline effluents for resource recovery have attracted interest recently. A research study presented two different ZLD systems to utilize brine by recovering freshwater and solid salts with commercial value. The results showed that while system 2 had higher specific energy consumption and freshwater cost than system 1, it was more profitable due to increased revenue from pure NaCl production. Both systems were even profitable solely from selling freshwater, demonstrating their promising potential for sustainable brine management and utilization.
