Predicted water shortages assign water treatment a leading role in improving water resources management. One of the main challenges associated with the processes remains early stage design of techno-economically optimised purification. This work addresses the current gap by undertaking a whole-system approach of flowsheet synthesis for the production of water at desired purity at minimum overall cost. The optimisation problem was formulated as a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) model. Two case studies were presented which incorporated the most common commercial technologies and the major pollution indicators, such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS).The results were analysed and compared to existing guidelines in order to examine the applicability of the proposed approach.

“…The most profound factor affecting boron rejection is the water pH since it has a strong influence on the boron distribution species (e.g., boric acid, borate ions) [5][6][7][8][9]20,21]. Normally, boron goes through several dissociation reactions and the one which has the highest importance during the RO operation is given below [4][5][6].…”

“…Besides, high RO reject superficial velocity offers better boron rejection as a result of reduced concentration polarization effects. All these previously mentioned variables require simultaneous optimization in order to achieve lower desalination cost under boron limitations [7][8][9].…”

“…It exists in water as boric acid and borate ions and the consumption of water with high boron concentrations leads to toxicological effects on human's health (Mane et al, 2009). For this reason, removal of boron from freshwater (produced by desalination techniques) by an acceptable level (Table 1) is very important.…”
