“…Memon et al 7 started using a reverse osmosis (RO) system to be able to recover energy from oil and gas fields and produce fresh water, and tested it against three data models. The tests showed that the RO system with two energy recovery units was more efficient and that the energy consumption of such a system was significantly lower and that the unit was suitable for working in areas where water was scarce 8,9 …”

Due to the rapid development of today's industry, it not only greatly accelerates the consumption of energy, but also causes serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, reducing energy waste and recovering energy has become an important research direction today. This paper introduces the future development trend of renewable energy, discusses the progress of recovery of nonpolluting energy such as marine, bioenergy and thermal energy, and analyzes the efficiency and social benefits of various types of energy recovery. Energy recovery methods for natural gas pipelines are briefly analyzed, and current research advances in energy pressure recovery devices are provided, leading to a summary of methods to improve the efficiency of fluid energy recovery. Finally, it is concluded that although the current energy sources are diversified, the most valued energy sources at present and in the future should be solar energy and ocean, which are infinitely recyclable. This paper will benefit researchers to further understand and study the various aspects of energy recovery.

“…It was discovered by a research group that raising the feed pressure up to 6.586 MPa significantly lowered the specific energy consumption (SEC) to 0.323 kW h/m 3 in the system with two energy recovery devices. Freshwater supplied from RO system makes it beneficial in arid areas [89]. Given that 40% of the world's population are 100 km away from a seawater source, much research has been made on the different desalination technologies to reduce the capital and operational costs.…”

Sustainable Innovation in Membrane Technologies for Produced Water Treatment: Challenges and Limitations

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Discharged water from the oil and gas fields is a common type of wastewater called produced water (PW). It consists of different combinations of salinities, oils, and mineral deposits. Growing industrial demand, accelerated urbanization, and rapid population growth are putting enormous strain on the world’s water supply. Based on sustainable freshwater supplies, North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia confront the ultimate water shortages threat. Proper implementation of innovative membrane technologies in wastewater treatment is considered a solution towards tackling water insecurity and sustainability. Different types of innovative membrane technologies used for produced water treatment were considered in this work. A framework of innovative membrane technology was studied for industrial wastewater with direct contribution to the environmental and economical sustainability factors, taking into consideration grand challenges and limitations in energy costs and environmental constraints. Treated produced water can be utilized in irrigation providing many benefits only if the desalination sector is mature and fully developed.

“…With the rapid growth in industries, the water pollution caused by industries has increased in the past decades. These sectors release large amounts of wastewater throughout their production processing, which can make severe problems for human, plant, and aquatic life [2]. Hence, there are significant limitations worldwide on clean water to set proper water consumption plans and conservation management strategies [3].…”

Dye wastewater produced in textile industries is a warning issue that threatens the environment due to discharge into the waterway. This study reviewed the adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB), as a toxic dye, onto diatomite adsorbent. A series of chemical modifications were examined by impregnating diatomite into various acidic and basic solutions to obtain the most active sample with the highest capacity. Both raw diatomite (RD) and modified diatomite (MD) were analyzed under different experimental conditions, such as PH, contact time, the dose of adsorbent to attain the optimum quantities of each in which adsorption capacity and removal percentage were in their highest amount. FESEM analysis indicated the surface characterization and the morphology of both adsorbents. The results of batch experiments showed that the equilibration removal capacities of MB under the optimum condition were 72 mg/g for RD and 127 mg/g for MD. Overall results suggested that due to the low-cost, naturally available, simple treatment methods and materials, and sustainability, the modified adsorbent has the potential for dye removal in the practical process.
