Forward osmosis dewatering of seawater and pesticide contaminated effluents using the commercial fertilizers and zinc-nitrate blend draw solutions. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 820:153376. [PMID: 35077789 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Fertilizer driven forward osmosis (FDFO) process would be feasible due to the possible prevention of the drainage of dewatered and concentrated pesticide effluent from agricultural pesticide industries to the environment. Instead, it would be possible to return the concentrated pesticide solution to the processing cycle, and on the other hand, employ directly the obtained diluted fertilizer draw solution for irrigation. This study investigated the performance of zinc-nitrate/amino-acids blends as fertilizer type draw solution, and distilled water, saline water (seawater), and synthetic wastewater containing pesticides as feed. The results indicated that the synergetic effect of blended type fertilizer presented significantly higher osmotic pressure and water flux than the sum of their individual ones, especially when the amount of amino acid increased. Conversely, an ignorable reverse flux of blended fertilizer draw solute was observed. The fertilizer blend with a molar ratio of 1:6 zinc-nitrate/amino-acid achieved the higher average fluxes of 34.7 and 23.92 L/m2h from distilled and saline waters compared to common draw solutions such as metal salts. Furthermore, the FDFO exhibited a high rejection (over 99%) of bentazon and imidacloprid in feed solutions compared to other agricultural pesticides due to their larger molecular weight and molecular size. The applied FDFO represented a significant reduction in specific energy consumption (from 0.17 to 0.049 kWh/m3) in a bench-scale setup as compared to the RO process almost at the same water permeation flux and the rejection of bentazon.

Abstract
Optimal steam process drive sizing is crucial for efficient and sustainable operation of energy-intense industries. Recent years have brought several methods assessing this problem, which differ in complexity and user-friendliness. In this paper, a novel complex method was developed and presented and its superiority over other approaches was documented on an industrial case study. Both the process-side and steam-side characteristics were analyzed to obtain correct model input data: Driven equipment performance and efficiency maps were considered, off-design and seasonal operation was studied, and steam network topology was included. Operational data processing and sizing calculations were performed in a linked MATLAB®–Aspen Plus® environment, exploiting the strong sides of both software tools. The case study aimed to replace a condensing steam turbine by a backpressure one, revealing that: 1. Simpler methods neglecting frictional pressure losses and off-design turbine operation efficiency loss undersized the drive and led to unacceptable loss of deliverable power to the process; 2. the associated process production loss amounted up to 20%; 3. existing bottlenecks in refinery steam pipelines operation were removed; however, new ones were created; and 4. the effect on the marginal steam source operation may vary seasonally. These findings accentuate the value and viability of the presented method.

A Review of CFD Modelling and Performance Metrics for Osmotic Membrane Processes. MEMBRANES 2020; 10:membranes10100285.

Abstract
Simulation via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) offers a convenient way for visualising hydrodynamics and mass transport in spacer-filled membrane channels, facilitating further developments in spiral wound membrane (SWM) modules for desalination processes. This paper provides a review on the use of CFD modelling for the development of novel spacers used in the SWM modules for three types of osmotic membrane processes: reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO). Currently, the modelling of mass transfer and fouling for complex spacer geometries is still limited. Compared with RO, CFD modelling for PRO is very rare owing to the relative infancy of this osmotically driven membrane process. Despite the rising popularity of multi-scale modelling of osmotic membrane processes, CFD can only be used for predicting process performance in the absence of fouling. This paper also reviews the most common metrics used for evaluating membrane module performance at the small and large scales.

Impact of FO Operating Pressure and Membrane Tensile Strength on Draw-Channel Geometry and Resulting Hydrodynamics. MEMBRANES 2020; 10:membranes10050111. [PMID: 32466224 PMCID: PMC7281554 DOI: 10.3390/membranes10050111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2020] [Revised: 05/22/2020] [Accepted: 05/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
In an effort to improve performances of forward osmosis (FO) systems, several innovative draw spacers have been proposed. However, the small pressure generally applied on the feed side of the process is expected to result in the membrane bending towards the draw side, and in the gradual occlusion of the channel. This phenomenon potentially presents detrimental effects on process performance, including pressure drop and external concentration polarization (ECP) in the draw channel. A flat sheet FO system with a dot-spacer draw channel geometry was characterized to determine the degree of draw channel occlusion resulting from feed pressurization, and the resulting implications on flow performance. First, tensile testing was performed on the FO membrane to derive a Young’s modulus, used to assess the membrane stretching, and the resulting draw channel characteristics under a range of moderate feed pressures. Membrane apex reached up to 67% of the membrane channel height when transmembrane pressure (TMP) of 1.4 bar was applied. The new FO channels considerations were then processed by computational fluid dynamics model (computational fluid dynamics (CFD) by ANSYS Fluent v19.1) and validated against previously obtained experimental data. Further simulations were conducted to better assess velocity profiles, Reynolds number and shear rate. Reynolds number on the membrane surface (draw side) increased by 20% and shear rate increased by 90% when occlusion changed from 0 to 70%, impacting concentration polarisation (CP) on the membrane surface and therefore FO performance. This paper shows that FO draw channel occlusion is expected to have a significant impact on fluid hydrodynamics when the membrane is not appropriately supported in the draw side.

Abstract
Compared with conventional natural gas, liquefied natural gas has the advantages of easier storage and transportation, more safety, less indirect investment, better peak regulation, and environmental protection. This paper studies the large-scale cryogenic propane precooled mixed refrigerant (C3MR) liquefied natural gas (LNG) process. The phase equilibrium of the liquefaction process is calculated by the Peng-Robinsonstate equation using ASPEN. A numerical model for the thermal process simulation of the liquefaction process is established by MATLAB. Based on Active X technology, data invocation between software is realized, which overcomes the problem of process variable changes under limited degrees of freedom. The minimum sum of the propane precooling amount for the compressor energy consumption is used as the objective function, the control variate method is used to address the liquefaction process model, and the parameter sensitivity analysis is performed and combined with the exergy analysis. The effects of multiple parameters (e.g., the pressures and temperatures) on the process performance are analyzed and discussed. The results indicate that the combined analysis of the parameter sensitivity and exergy adopted in this paper are able to increase the system performance and reduce the exergy loss of equipment. The maximum reduction of the throttling loss of the process is 60.14%, and the total exergy loss is reduced by 25.8%.
