Cost of fouling in full-scale reverse osmosis and nanofiltration installations in the Netherlands

M. Jafari et al.

Summary: The economic impact of fouling in spiral wound membranes was investigated by conducting an economic analysis on seven full-scale installations. It was found that fouling cost in RO plants accounted for 24% of operational expenses, while it was only 11% in NF plants due to low biofouling potential of feed water. The major cost factors in fouling were identified as early membrane replacement cost, additional energy cost, and in some cases, downt-time cost during cleaning events.

A New Approach to Solar Desalination Using a Humidification-Dehumidification Process for Remote Areas

Mishal Alsehli

Summary: This study introduces a new solar-powered desalination system using a humidification-dehumidification (HDH) unit that operates continuously to absorb solar energy during the day and desalinate water at night. The system is designed to adjust the mass of feed water daily to achieve a consistent top brine temperature (TBT) in response to changes in available solar energy. The dynamic model simulation shows an average daily production of 7.6 kg of fresh water per unit area of the solar collector, with daily average output gain and recovery ratios of 0.3 and 0.09, respectively.
