Inquiry: FO membrane elements for pilot unit with 2 to 3 m3/h feed flow
Recently, we received an inquiry from Dr. Arcari (Customer Experience Supervisor Membrane) who is on the lookout for FO elements to complete a 2 -3m3/hour FO pilot unit. If you’re a...
Could osmotic dehydration bring forward osmosis into B2C market segments?
Osmotic dehumidification utilizes capillary condensation & forward osmosis as an alternative to traditional air drying methods
Traditional air drying methods are based on either vapor compression, desiccant substrate capture, or liquid desiccants...
Treatment of produced water: potential application of forward osmosis
Produced water represents an ever increasing wastewater challenge
Produced water (PW) - co-produced during oil and gas exploitation - is one of the largest sources of oily wastewaters. PW contains dispersed oils,...
Investigating Fertilizer Drawn Forward Osmosis Process for Groundwater Desalination for Irrigation in Egypt
FDFO for groundwater desalination
Groundwater desalination could be a possible solution to Egypt’s scarcity problem through applying state-of-the-art desalination technologies. More than half of Egypt's area has access to brackish groundwater, 47%...
BBC Horizons: forward osmosis for industrial wastewater treatment
The concept of using forward osmosis for industrial wastewater treatment was recently covered in a BBC Horizons episode for BBC World News
