Abstract

• The EERO process can achieve higher overall water recoveries at a significantly reduced operating pressure and at a competitive specific energy consumption • The RO stage in the CMCR can be run at a higher water recovery owing to the foulants removed in the NF stage • The lower operating pressure in the EERO process will reduce the capital construction and maintenance costs • A hybrid EERO-PRO process will have an energy density well above the economic threshold for harvesting the osmotic potential energy of the concentrated brine.
