Analysis of a Wind Driven Reverse Osmosis Desalination System: Experimental Study Using a Pressure Exchanger Energy Recovery Device

With a fast growing world population, the lack of fresh water is one of the world’s biggest future concerns. Water stress can lead to conflicts, holds back economic growth and has a major impact on human health. Nowadays, more and more countries that lack fresh water sources are using the saline water from the oceans and desalinate it to produce...

Packed Bed Condenser for Fresh Water Production: Study of a direct contact ocean thermal water production pilot-plant

To tackle the expected increase in fresh water shortage in the world, alternative water production methods are required. One such a possible method is Ocean Thermal Water Production (OTWP). This thesis continues on the innovative concept of the use of OTEC waste water as a cooling fluid for atmospheric water production introduced in previous...
