“…The concentration of dairy whey with forward osmosis was investigated in several studies in Turkey [ 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 ]. Raw whey from a cheese manufacturing was used as FS.…”

“…Economic evaluation was also included in the studies. The technologies for whey dewatering and—in case of applied FO—corresponding DS regeneration were: ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis (UF-RO) [ 106 , 108 ], forward osmosis with reverse osmosis (FO-RO, NaCl as DS) [ 106 , 108 , 109 ], forward osmosis with reverse osmosis (FO-RO, 2 M NH 4 HCO 3 as DS with thermal enhanced DS regeneration) [ 106 ], forward osmosis with membrane distillation (FO-MD, 2 M NaCl as DS) [ 106 , 107 ], membrane distillation and reverse osmosis (MD-RO) [ 106 , 107 ]. …”

Forward osmosis (FO) is a membrane technology that uses the osmotic pressure difference to treat two fluids at a time giving the opportunity for an energy-efficient water and wastewater treatment. Various applications are possible; one of them is the application in industrial water management. In this review paper, the basic principle of FO is explained and the state-of-the-art regarding FO application in manufacturing industries is described. Examples of FO application were found for food and beverage industry, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, coal processing, micro algae cultivation, textile industry, pulp and paper industry, electronic industry, and car manufacturing. FO publications were also found about heavy metal elimination and cooling water treatment. However, so far FO was applied in lab-scale experiments only. The up-scaling on pilot- or full-scale will be the essential next step. Long-term fouling behavior, membrane cleaning methods, and operation procedures are essential points that need to be further investigated. Moreover, energetic and economic evaluations need to be performed before full-scale FO can be implemented in industries.

“…This is especially important as the FO process has been argued to increase the costs considerably due to the need for draw solution regeneration. By using process modeling and cost estimation software program, Aydiner et al (2014) reported that the integrated FO-RO process managed to achieve the highest water recovery (from the regeneration of draw solution through RO system) at 77% and possess payback period at par with the conventional UF-RO process for the concentration of whey and water recovery [77]. Such positive techno-economic finding could be attributed to the better whey concentration efficiency by FO as compared to UF, which subsequently led to higher whey powder production rate (translated to higher revenue from whey powder sale) in the downstream process.…”

Study of forward osmosis (FO) has been increasing steadily over recent years with applications mainly focusing on desalination and wastewater treatment processes. The working mechanism of FO lies in the natural movement of water between two streams with different osmotic pressure, which makes it useful in concentrating or diluting solutions. FO has rarely been 2 operated as a stand-alone process. Instead, FO processes often appear in a hybrid or integrated form where FO is combined with other treatment technologies to achieve better overall process performance and cost savings. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review on the need for hybridization/integration for FO membrane processes, with emphasis given to process enhancement, draw solution regeneration, and pretreatment for FO fouling mitigation. In general, integrated/hybrid FO processes can reduce the membrane fouling propensity; prepare the solution suitable for subsequent value-added uses and production of renewable energy; lower the costs associated with energy consumption; enhance the quality of treated water; and enable the continuous operation of FO through the regeneration of draw solution. The future potential of FO lies in the success of how it can be hybridized or integrated with other technologies to minimize its own shortcomings, while enhancing the overall performance.

“…Porifera (USA) has patented plate and frame forward osmosis systems for milk concentration up to 40% total solids (136). Integrated (137) systems incorporating forward osmosis and reverse osmosis were also studied for water recovery and whey powder production by Aydiner et al (138). It was found that a FO/RO system using a NaCl draw solution could be successful, with the total solid content increasing from 6.75 % (raw whey) to 28 %, illustrating the potential of FO.…”
