Considering the degradation of water resources and increase in human population, desalination seems to be a promising method for meeting global demand, from potable plant irrigation needs. The contribution agricultural sector, through supply plants or animals, is critical because this sector represents 70% demand. Unfortunately, process energy-intensive subjected several factors that result undesirable fluctuations on quality/quantity product water, and/or energy waste. Renewable sources can...
AbstractSea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination constitutes a successful technology for covering local fresh supply shortage in many areas of the world and especially isolated such as islands coastal regions. SWRO units can be combined with renewable energy (RE) technologies photovoltaic wind generators. Small-scale recovery devices decrease drastically consumption units. Furthermore, it is proven that operation unit part-load conditions result lower specific compared to continuous...
Sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination constitutes a successful technology for covering the potable needs of islands and coastal regions. SWRO units can be combined with renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaic wind generators. Conventional small scale are not often recovery devices; however, these devices decrease drastically consumption units. Furthermore, in literature there references which prove that operation unit part-load conditions result lower specific compared to...
Access to fresh water is a major human right as mankind existence depends on it. The balance between supply and actual demand for agricultural purposes (irrigation) relies the availability of in underground aquifers or surface resources. Water resources are under great pressure due high irrigation sustain crop productivity cover domestic use result demographic growth. Desalination sea brackish one solutions provide remote areas limited freshwater reserves. In such areas, if desalination...
Reverse osmosis (RO) is the most widespread technology in desalination of seawater (SW) and brackish water (BW).In BW desalination, use energy recovery systems not as evident SW, due to other factors such higher flux recoveries lower specific consumptions.This paper studied economic feasibility installing interstage pump RO membrane replacement by nanofiltration a BWRO plant with feed capacity 600 m 3 /d.Experimental data over course more than 2 y nonstop operation were collected.The had...
The sustainable agriculture concept emerges from the necessity to ensure food production feed human growing population, while natural resources, water and soil quality, ecosystems others are preserved. One way implement know-how techniques in is through educational courses universities, such as MSc programme, by promoting communication between academics, researchers, agricultural workers other experts. This paper examines best practices serve a guide develop programme Sustainable Farming. A...
