An Integrated Feed Pump - Recovery Turbine Reduces Energy Consumption and Capital Costs of BWRO Systems
Recovery of the brine hydraulic energy promises operating cost savings in reverse osmosis (RO) systems. For seawater (SW) RO systems, this promise has turned into reality with a plethora of commercialized energy recovery devices (ERDs). Brackish water (BW) RO however, is not nearly so amenable for ERD application due to a relatively small amount of...
The Growing Use of Advanced Energy Recovery Devices in Brackish Water RO Facilities
The paper discusses recently introduced Energy Recovery Devices that meet the unique economic as well as operational challenges encountered in Brackish Water0everse Osmosis systems. Several case studies will be presented addressing various types of ERDs in BWRO applications...
Energy Optimization with Energy Recovery Devices and Innovative Process Design Improvements with Applications in Membrane Systems
With advances in new RO membrane technologies only having minor energy reductions, reducing energy consumption by energy recovery devices (ERDs) and optimizing flow processes are the general approaches in desalination facilities. An overview of current ERD technologies and what developing new innovations in membrane process designs these devices ca...
Twin Turbochargers Provide High Permeate Recovery at Low Net Energy Consumption and Low Capital Cost in Megascale SWRO Systems
This study will compare conventional SWRO systems operating at 40-45% recovery utilizing currently available energy recovery devices with the twin turbocharger design operating at about 60% recovery. Also, the impact on center port membrane housings for reduction in membrane arrays costs will be explored....
Effects of Energy Recovery Device Reliability on the Operation and Costs of Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plants
In contrast to the many papers previously published and presented on energy recovery devices (ERD) in seawater RO systems, this presentation will consider the effects of ERD availability and reliability on the function, efficiency, and cost of seawater desalination plants. In this way, this presentation will have interest and value to engineers, op...
