Abstract
Undulated insert for boosting desalination efficiency in membrane systems
Highlights
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane process that aims to produce drinking water from seawater and brackish water
It was concluded that the zigzag spacer configuration might promote fouling and scaling, while cavity and submerged configurations are more suited toward the mass transfer
This paper reports a two-dimensional model of salt water flowing in a narrow channel bounded by two semi-permeable membranes and fitted with an undulated insert
Summary
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane process that aims to produce drinking water from seawater and brackish water. This study reports numerical simulations of the fluid flow coupled to mass transfer in a 2D narrow channel fitted with an undulated insert mounted at mid-height between two semi-permeable membranes.
