Abstract

The CDBR process can achieve concurrent desalination to < 100 ppm and boron removal to 0.5 ppm using currently available commercial membranes The CDBR process allows a high water recovery at an OPD and SEC0 considerably lower than conventional RO The CDBR process has a very competitive net specific energy consumption owing to operation at a lower OPD The CDBR process can significantly reduce the fixed and maintenance costs owing to operation at a lower OPD The high recovery of the CDBR process produces a highly concentrated brine that could be used in a hybrid CDBR-PRO process to harvest its osmotic potential energy > CDBR technology can be retrofit onto existing desalination plants.
