Modelling and Experimental Investigation of Geometric Solutions to Scaling on Reverse Osmosis Membranes through innovative Feed Spacer Design

“…It is therefore principally important to improve the process efficiency for RO filtration to reduce both energy demand and its associated water consumption. These improvements typically follow two approaches through semi-permeable membrane modification, enhanced permeability by inclusion of nanomaterials, or improved anti-fouling performance by effecting the membranes electronegativity and hydrophilicity [3]. The focus of this research effort incorporates the synthesis of a variety of environmental engineering educational components with the overarching concept of developing an innovative solution to an ill-defined problem.…”
