| This work investigates the prospects of freshwater production through Seat Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination. The process of SWRO is highly dependent on desalination Energy Consumption, Technology, and Cost. To establish a baseline for the work, an extensive literature study and analysis was carried out on SWRO desalination processes and technology. Different types of SWRO systems were studied by arrangement configuration, energy consumption and energy recovery systems. Because energy consumption by the SWRO system is the single important factor affecting the production of freshwater, energy consumption and processes efficiency analyses were carried out. Furthermore, the work includes the development of an analytical procedure for predicting the performance and cost of the SWRO desalination processes and systems. Finally, the work concludes on future trends in SWRO desalination processes and systems. |
