Additional information

Fouling affects external energy consumption (and thus carbon footprint) significantly in RO processes. For the first time, sensitivity of fouling distribution in different RO stages has been analysed and incorporated in model based optimisation of RO process with an ultimate goal of minimising the total capital and operating cost (pumping cost representing energy cost) while optimising the RO network. A number of recent papers on desalination including this one led to the keynote presentations at the CAPE Forum 2008 (Greece) and International Symposium on PSE2012 (Singapore).
