“…Implying that at C o of 0.0004 mole/cm 3 the RO process was at optimum in terms of separation of the seawater. The observed trend of continuous increase of C si with increasing DP was similar to the trend reported by Idrees (2020) and Cath et al (2006). Figure 5(b) shows the simulation for the RO process having C o .0.0004 mole/cm 3 .…”

Model equations for prediction of process parameters of reverse osmosis for desalination of seawater were developed via mathematical derivation from basic equations for reverse osmosis process. A model equation relating the interfacial solute concentration () with the process pressure difference () was developed. Taking the of a reverse osmosis as the basic independent variable, further model equations relating other process parameters such as the solute concentration polarity , water flux , osmotic pressure , water output rate (q), power density (Pd) and specific energy consumption (SEC) were developed. Simulation of a hypothetical reverse osmosis data using Microsoft Excel Worksheet and a Microsoft Windows 10 on a 64-bit operating system was carried out. Simulation results showed that the optimum fluid bulk concentration was = 0.0004 mole/cm3. The optimum rate of increase in the solute rejection factor per unit rise in ΔP was 0.45%. The optimum solute rejection factor was 97.6%. The optimum water output rate, specific energy consumption and power density were 103.2 L/h, 3.65 kWh/m3 and 6.09 W/m2, respectively.

“…The study concluded that 10% more energy from the photovoltaic panels was generated when the system was cooled [17]. Another paper was reviewed in which elaborative instrumentation on just reverse osmosis system was discussed, and it concluded that the performance of such a system is highly dependent on the temperature and pH of the water [18]. Edward Fredkin and Roger Banks in [19] provide a new approach for reverse osmosis system instrumentation and control design by applying artificial intelligencebased software technology in order to make the system robust and more efficient.…”

Design and implementation of an open-source-based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for a community solar-powered reverse osmosis are presented in this paper. A typical SCADA system available on the market is proprietary and has a high initial and maintenance cost. Aside from that, there is no SCADA system with an alert system available to give users updates and status information concerning the system. The objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive SCADA design that takes advantage of open-source technology to address the world’s most pressing problem, access to clean water. The designed reverse Osmosis system also uses renewable energy-based power sources. In this system, all data is stored and analyzed locally, which ensures the data is secure and allows the user to make data-driven decisions based on the collected data. Among the main components of this system are the field instrument devices (FIDs), the remote terminal unit (RTU), the main terminal units (MTUs), the web-based programming software, and the data analytics software. The Node-Red programming and dashboard tool, Grafana for data analytics, and InfluxDB for database management run on the main terminal unit having Debian operating system. Data is transmitted from the FIDs to the RTU, which then redirects it to the MTU via serial communication. Node-Red displays the data processed by the MTU on its dashboard as well, as the data is stored locally on the MTU and is displayed by means of Grafana, which is also installed on the same MTU. Through the Node-Red dashboard, the system is controlled, and notifications are sent to the community.

“…For different causes, several nations are now experiencing a shortage of drinking water. Therefore, it is also necessary to invest the waters of the seas and oceans, as they constitute more than 97% of the globe waters through desalination processes [Idrees, 2020;Lin et al, 2021]. One of these nations is Iraq, where surface water shortage is a major issue in many provinces.…”

The Basrah province (southern of Iraq) was interested in establishing desalination plants to provide drinking water due to the high levels of salinity in its water resources. This work was carried out in order to evaluate and simulate the functionality of the reverse osmosis plant in the Al-Maqal port. From the field and laboratory measurement, this study concluded that the considered parameters of product water by reverse osmosis (RO) plant were within the Iraqi standard (IRS) limits. The calculation of operation indices showed that the recovery rate of plant (72%) and the permeate flux of plant (20 lmh) was within for limitation of brackish surface water. In turn, the plant has a low salt rejection (90.1%) and a high pressure drop (5 bar); therefore, the membranes require backwashing or chemical cleaning. Then, the performance of RO membrane was simulated by the Winflows software. The best operating parameters were identified. The coefficient of determination (R 2 ) between simulated and measured TDS was 0.83. Therefore, the simulated TDS of permeate multiplied by 5.3 was given a good estimation for actual TDS within acceptable an error rate of 17%.
