Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO)

Salinity power generation using membrane modules was examined by the Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) system between pure water and concentrated brine in the Mega-ton Water System Project under the Japanese national project of “Funding Program for World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technolog

• A model for water flux through a PRO membrane is developed. • A validated model for temperature distribution over the membrane is also provided. • The effect of the solution temperatures on the membrane properties was highlighted. • It is shown how raising the feed solution temperature enhances the
