His joint work and thesis “ Ammonia – Carbon Dioxide Forward Osmosis Desalination and Pressure Retarded Osmosis" was published in the journal "Desalination" in April 2005. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] McGinnis is a veteran of the U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team , where he also served during Operation Desert Storm defusing mines in the ...
Modern Water has deployed forward osmosis based desalination plants in Gibraltar and Oman. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] In March 2010, National Geographic [ 7 ] magazine cited forward osmosis as one of three technologies that promised to reduce the energy requirements of desalination.
The NAWI organization identifies research and development opportunities designed to advance desalination and treatment of nontraditional source waters for beneficial use in public water supplies. A 2020 opinion article in a scientific journal by Fiske and Mauter makes the case for establishing NAWI. From the abstract:
Carbon nanotubes are being investigated for use in desalination due to their ion exclusion properties. This is largely due to the unfavorable energy barrier that would have to be overcome in order to desolvate the ions, as the hydrated ions are often larger than the diameter of the nanotubes. As the diameter of the tube increases, larger and ...
Multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) is a water desalination process that distills sea water by flashing a portion of the water into steam in multiple stages of what are essentially countercurrent heat exchangers. Current MSF facilities may have as many as 30 stages.
Vacuum distillation is often used in large industrial plants as an efficient way to remove salt from ocean water, in order to produce fresh water. This is known as desalination. The ocean water is placed under a vacuum to lower its boiling point and has a heat source applied, allowing the fresh water to boil off and be condensed.
