Reducing energy consumption is critical for lowering the cost of desalination and addressing environmental concerns about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the continued use of conventional fossil fuels as the primary energy source for seawater desalination plants.In this study, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to gather informatio...

Seawater desalination is a promising option for a steady supply of high-quality water from the abundantly avialable source of ocean water, but the process is energy intensive. In this paper, nanocomposite RO and semi batch RO were evaluated at the pilot scale for energy minimzation during seawate desalination. The objecties were to: 1) compare the ...

This paper describes the recently completed ?Database of Permitting Practices for Seawater Desalination Concentrate,? a WateReuse Research Foundation project, which could benefit both the utility and regulatory communities in the United States, bringing clarity to the permitting process and issues associated with the construction of desalination p...
