Water is a major source for survival on this planet. Its conservation is therefore a priority.
With the increase in demand, the supply needs to meet specific standards. Several …

Abstract The use of Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination has grown considerably in
response to water scarcity. Despite steady improvements in efficiency, RO desalination …

The robustness, reliability and efficiency of modern numerical methods for obtaining
solutions to flow problems have given rise to the adoption of Computational Fluid Dynamics …

Energy consumption is a key factor which influences the freshwater production cost in
reverse osmosis (RO) process. Energy recovery and reuse options have already been very …

Worldwide, the application of a (gas/liquid) two-phase flow in membrane processes has
received ample scientific deliberation because of its potential to reduce concentration …

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was used to simulate steady fluid flow with
mass transfer in three-dimensional narrow channels containing non-woven spacers with a …

Spacers are designed to generate significant secondary flow structures and create
directional changes in the flow through membrane modules. Shape of the spacers used in …

Application of ultrafiltration membranes for removal of humic acids is investigated below.
Membrane filtration processes were compared using two different set-ups: circular flow and …

In the present study the influence of suction time, backflush time and aeration intensity on
fouling was investigated using 23 factorial design. The experimental study has been …

With the significant increasing water demand and the fossil-fuel cost, the wind-powered
desalination technique has become more and more attractive for coastal area. It has …
