Abstract:
The current status of small-scale desalination (produced water capacity 100 m3/day or less) is reviewed to provide an overview of the market segment. The use of energy-recovery devices in this market segment is also reviewed. We find that the Middle East accounts for the largest market share worldwide at present, and reverse osmosis is overwhelmingly dominant among the desalination technologies adopted. Implementation of energy-recovery devices at small scale is rare, which leads to relatively high energy consumption for small-scale seawater reverse osmosis desalination systems.Keywords:

Reverse osmosis(RO) is a liquid separation technology with properties of high efficiency,low energy con-sumption and easy operation.Compared to traditional methods of wastewater treatment,reverse osmosis mem-brane technology has many advantages,such as seawater and brackish water desalination,the circulatory use of wastewater and recovery of useful substances.Research and development of reverse osmosis membrane fil-tration techniques in the treatment of seawater and brackish water desalination,preparation of pure water,sewage treatment,foodstuff processing are introduced,respectively.In addition,the prospect of these tech-niques is also discussed.

This article shows the optimization of the reverse osmosis process in seawater desalination plants, taking the example of the Canary Islands, where there are more than 320 units of different sizes, both private and public. The objective is to improve the energy efficiency of the system in order to save on operation costs as well as reduce the carbon and ecological footprints. Reverse osmosis membranes with higher surface area have lower energy consumption, as well as energy recovery systems to recover the brine pressure and introduce it in the system. Accounting for the operation, maintenance and handling of the membranes is also important in energy savings, in order to improve the energy efficiency. The energy consumption depends on the permeate water quality required and the model of the reverse osmosis membrane installed in the seawater desalination plant, as it is shown in this study.

Algeria is located in a semi-arid region, suffering now more than ever from the problem of inadequate water resources. It is also characterized by irregular rainfall. Membrane sea water desalination technology has known in recent years remarkable progress. Reverse osmosis is the most widespread process to increase fresh water production for domestic, agriculture and industrial uses. Currently, renewable energies can provide a sustainable and alternative solution for generating reverse osmosis systems operating at high pressure. The production of fresh and potable water by solar water desalination remains a sustainable strategy and economic option to fill the water deficit in areas that do not have access to safe drinking water and electricity. For this, this principle is developed industrially for the desalination of the sea waters and the purification of the water. The main objective of the present work is the study of a small capacity (100 I/h) reverse osmosis plan intended for desalination and water treatment operation. We have especially worked on the effect of pressure and salinity on the production and quality of the water produced. The performed work is purely experimental and is part within the framework of improving the profitability of an RO device. Initiation of coupling of the reverse osmosis pilot to solar energy in order to reduce energy consumption (4 KW/ 1m3) is being investigated. During this period of experimentation a physicochemical and bacteriological analysis of the water before and after treatment were carried out.

Brackish water (BW) desalination is a primary path to relieve the shortage of water. As one of the BW desalination methods, reverse osmosis (RO) technology has advantage for both technology and process procedure. The expounding of this research studied or reviewed recent years, reverse osmosis membrane, energy recovery, new energy and application technology in BW desalination of RO at home and abroad. Wind power and solar energy can be combined with energy recovery device for RO. The research also explains that BW desalination by RO is practical and feasible in some areas in China.

Desalination is one of the primary methods used nowadays in many places to acquire water. Reverse osmosis is the most advanced technique for water filtering. Desalination is necessary in arid countries and in cases where good-quality water is required for industrial purposes and fresh water is not available. Power pumping is used in this system to inject water into semi-membranes, where the salty water is then removed from the solution. The goal of this study was to provide guidelines for using the pressure generated in situ of harvesting water instead of a power pump, which creates the pressure required for reverse osmosis. These recommendations have been split into two primary groups: Utilizing the natural pressure that is formed, or, alternatively, the forces that are brought about by structures erected for water harvesting.
