“…The RO process has several merits including its reliability and maturity at low investment costs at low capacities coupled with low maintenance cost. As well as this, deteriorated and aging or excessive fouled RO membrane modules can be easily replaced, together with the flexibility of adding new modules to suit any required water quantity and quality with short implementation periods [11]. Moreover, RO processes operate at ambient temperatures unlike thermal desalination processes [4].…”

The reverse osmosis (RO) process is one of the best desalination methods, using membranes to reject several impurities from seawater and brackish water. To systematically perceive the transport phenomena of solvent and solutes via the membrane texture, several mathematical models have been developed. To date, a large number of simulation and optimisation studies have been achieved to gauge the influence of control variables on the performance indexes, to adjust the key variables at optimum values, and to realise the optimum production indexes. This paper delivers an intensive review of the successful models of the RO process and both simulation and optimisation studies carried out on the basis of the models developed. In general, this paper investigates the scope and limitations of the RO process, as well as proving the maturity of the associated perspective methodologies.

“…Having overcome the impediments of scaling and corrosion in the tubes successfully with the technological developments in materials and techniques, the market share of VTE-MED system has been increasing steadily over the past decades [1]. On the other hand, the long-term stability of nuclear fuel price, the low level of CO 2 and NO x emissions warrant special attraction to using nuclear energy for seawater desalination [2][3][4]. As the international highlights to extend the application of the nuclear energy recommended by IAEA, the VTE-MED system coupled with low temperature nuclear heating reactor (NHR) has been proved to be a promising alternative for the solution of the worldwide potable water shortages [4,5].…”
