Topics cover salinity gradient processes for desalination, such as Forward Osmosis (FO) and Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO), with chapters selected exclusively from a number of world-leading experts in various disciplines and from different continents. Sections include discussions on the theoretical and fundamental approaches to salinity gradient processes, various types of membrane materials and development, i.e., flat sheet and hollow fiber, various salinity water sources for an economically feasible process, and large-scale applications.
Finally, the book focuses on economically feasible process optimization when both operational and capital costs are considered.
- Features specific details on salinity gradient techniques for various desalination applications of industrial and academic interest
- Contains unique discussions on membrane development and process optimization that normally only appear briefly in research articles
- Includes examples of internationally best practices for the evaluation of several system parameters, including thermodynamic optimization, high power density membrane development, and more
- Discusses large-scale applications and provides examples of such implementations, such as Statkraft, Japanese Megaton, and Korean GMVP
Membrane and process development scientists/researchers involved in process development for low cost desalination and membrane preparation for salinity gradient applications in chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and material engineering worldwide. Also, engineering, Procurement and Construction companies, Membrane fabrication companies
