Abstract
A new co-generation application of the hydro-power development with application of reverse osmosis (RO) desalination is demonstrated in this paper, in which the technical feasibility of the hydro-powered reverse osmosis desalination system is examined in the Aqaba-Disi water pipeline project in Jordan and Galala-Red Sea seawater pumped-storage scheme in Egypt. Substantial reduction in the operating cost and energy could improve the cost constraints of the desalination technology. The unit cost of the hydro-powered reverse osmosis desalination is preliminarily estimated to be US$0.4/m 3 for brackish groundwater and US$0.68/m 3 for seawater.
