SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Radical Innovations in Reverse Osmosis Seawater Desalination, finds that the increase in freshwater demand for human consumption and ...

(Nanowerk News) Making fresh water out of seawater usually requires huge amounts of energy. The most widespread process for desalination is called reverse osmosis, which works by flowing seawater over ...

Keeping liquid flowing through the membrane is an effective way to combat biofouling, and spacers play an important role in ...

HE Saeed Al Tayer: We have a comprehensive approach to ensure the sustainability of water resources by increasing water production capacity using the latest and most efficient water desalination ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hitachi Metals, Ltd. (TOKYO:5486) has developed a ceramics adsorption filter (CAF) as a pre-treatment technology for the seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination process in ...

Africa’s largest seawater reverse-osmosis desalination plant has opened that uses ultra-filtration and membrane technologies to supply water to Oran, the second-biggest city in Algeria. The Magtaa ...

A growing number of countries are turning to desalination plants to bolster dwindling water supplies. Most of the new facilities make use of reverse osmosis technology, but unfortunately these systems ...

The traditional criticism of reverse-osmosis technology is that it costs too much. The process uses a great deal of energy to force salt water against polymer membranes that have pores small enough to ...

Finnish researchers have proposed the use of solar, wind, and storage to provide desalinated seawater to restore forests. Their model predicts that an additional 10.7 TW of PV would be needed to ...
