Membrane Distillation and Forward Osmosis: Advances in Membranes, Modules, and Applications. IDA Journal of Desalination and Water Reuse, 4(1), 22-26. | Series/Report no.: | IDA journal of desalination and water reuse | Abstract: | Membrane distillation (MD) and forward osmosis (FO) are attracting interest for reuse and desalination applications. Both processes are low pressure and suited to using low-grade thermal energy, such as waste heat and solar, which yield low greenhouse-gas emissions. MD applications include desalination, concentrate processing by MD crystallization, and a unique MD bioreactor with high-quality permeate for wastewater reclamation. FO applications include desalting, brine usage, and an FO bioreactor, which also produces high-quality permeate for reuse. This article reviews research developments in MD and FO at the Singapore Membrane Technology Centre. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/96062 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/10075 |
