Book Energy Consumption Optimization of a Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis System

Download or read book Energy Consumption Optimization of a Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis System written by Leili Abkar and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clean water and energy are two key concerns in today's world, and climate change is making both of these issues even of more significant importance. Desalination, a process that removes salt from saline water to produce fresh water, is a solution for the worsening water scarcity issues. Many different desalination technologies are available and applied around the world, including thermal-based technologies, which include multi-stage flash (MSF) and multiple effect distillation (MED), as well as membrane-based technologies such as reverse osmosis (RO) and also electrodialysis reversal (EDR). Reverse osmosis is the most commonly used membrane-based technology, capable of eliminating a wide range of contaminants to produce clean water. There are two different types of RO systems, Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis (BWRO) and Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO), which are applied based on the characteristics of the feedwater. In inland regions, groundwater, surface water, and river water are considered brackish water. In the state of New Mexico for instance, brackish water is the available feedwater source, and therefore BWRO is applied to provide fresh water. Due to a water shortage crisis in the Southwest USA, one of the major goals is to optimize the BWRO process to minimize energy consumption and simultaneously increase the water recovery rate. By increasing the recovery rate, a higher percentage of the feedwater is converted into fresh water; therefore, less feedwater is required to produce a given quantity of fresh water, conserving water resources. In this research, energy consumption optimization for BWRO systems has been investigated. The key control factors for minimizing BWRO energy consumption include feed flow rate, pressure, and temperature, as operating conditions, feed concentrations, and membrane type (representing membrane permeability). The effect of each of these control factors on energy consumption is evaluated, and presented. A full factorial design has been done with mixed level for different factors. In this research, pressure has six level in the range of 50-175 psi by the 25 psi step, Flow rate 3-6 LPM with the step of 1 LPM, temperature has two level of 30 and 40 centigrade, and salinity varies from 2,000, 2,500, 3,000 ppm to cover the middle range of brackish water. Each experiment has three replication. Using linear regression method makes it possible to determine relation between input variable (feed flowrate, salinity, pressure and temperature) and response variable (energy, recovery and specific energy consumption). The empirical model developed to predict the energy, recovery and specific energy consumption of the reverse osmosis system in the specified range and finding the sweet spot to run the system to produce the minimum energy cost for 1 cubic meter of water.

Book Enhancement of Operational Flexibility in Reverse Osmosis Membrane Processes by Concentrate Recycling

Download or read book Enhancement of Operational Flexibility in Reverse Osmosis Membrane Processes by Concentrate Recycling written by Tae Lee and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improvements in system and process design has enabled reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology to gain foothold in various water treatment and desalination applications. However, energy consumption and mineral scaling on membrane surfaces remain impediments to high recovery operation of RO desalination. Accordingly, research efforts have been devoted to process optimization to improve permeate water productivity, reduce energy cost, and mitigate membrane mineral scaling. In this regard, RO concentrate recycling is an effective approach for enhancing product water recovery, reducing system footprint, and lowering installation as well as operating costs of RO desalination systems and plants. Energy consumption and membrane mineral scaling propensity in RO processes are impacted primarily by the osmotic pressure magnitude and the level of supersaturation of mineral scalants at the membrane surface, respectively, which are, in turn, governed by the operational strategy. Optimization of RO processes with concentrate recycle require fundamental models of RO processes with concentrate recycle under both steady and unsteady-state operation, To date, only simple models have been proposed which are of limited applicability to practical systems given the use of various simplifying assumptions of complete energy recovery, neglect of the efficacy of concentrate flushing in unsteady-state semi-batch RO (SBRO), and omission of concentration polarization. Previous studies have not provided experimental data to corroborate conclusions regarding system performance based on oversimplifications. Moreover, SBRO operation was not assessed relative to steady state RO (SSRO) with partial recycle (SSRO-PR) which is also suitable for high recovery operation with a small footprint. Accordingly, in the present work a fundamental quantitative modeling framework was developed and implemented for the design and operation of SSRO-PR and SBRO. Modeling RO desalting, including at the limit of the thermodynamic restriction, was undertaken to evaluate the minimum energy consumption as a function of product water recovery. SBRO process analysis revealed a significant increase in the salinity range during the RO filtration period and a progressive rise in the initial filtration period salinity until the stable cycle-to-cycle operation is reached. SBRO performance is highly dependent on the efficacy of concentrate discharge and flushing during the SBRO flushing period. For the condition of concentrate flushing under ideal plug flow, energy consumption in SBRO was assessed to be lower than for single-pass RO (SPRO) operation at the same level of overall product water recovery. However, for the practical range of expected concentrate flushing efficacy energy consumption in SBRO could be significantly above that which would be attained in SPRO. Using the direct real-time membrane surface optical imaging mineral scaling was experimentally evaluated in both SBRO and SSRO-PR pilot systems, with respect to the efficacy of concentrate flushing with the undersaturated raw feed water, at given levels of supersaturation or product water recovery. The predicted RO element feed stream osmotic pressure and solution supersaturation levels (for the target mineral scalant) at the membrane surface, for a given product water recovery, were higher on average in SBRO relative to SSRO-PR as corroborated by experimental data. The experimental data revealed mineral scaling propensity, which was significantly higher in multi-cycle SBRO operation, relative to SSRO-PR at the same water recovery. However, the rates of crystal nucleation and growth were similar at when both systems are compared at the same level of average supersaturation, although the product water recovery was lower in SBRO compared to SSRO-PR. The present theoretical modeling framework, validated by experimental data, provide a fundamental approach to assessing the performance of SBRO and SSRO-PR desalting systems with respect to energy consumption and mineral scaling propensity. The presented approach provides the means necessary for optimizing these low footprint technologies for high recovery RO desalination.
