Reverse osmosis Osmosis process is the tendency of water to flow through semi-permeable membrane into a more concentrated solution Concentrated Solution membrane Pure water Pressure Reverse osmosis is a form of filtration in which the filter is a semi-permeable membrane that allows water to pass through, but not salt. 2/11 Concentrated Solution membrane Pure water
Pressure needed for RO Pressure The osmotic pressure of typical seawater is around 26 bar, and this is the pressure that the pump must overcome in order to reverse the flow . In practice , in order to achieve a generous flow of freshwater, a significantly higher pressure as 50-80 bar is used. Pressure membrane Pure water Concentrated Solution 3/11
Why SWRO 能量回收装置 Advantages: 1 Half of the energy needed by the thermal process. 2 Modularity of reverse osmosis units, Simplicity of operation 3 Lower environment impact. Indeed, reverse osmosis process accounted for 59% of contracted desalination capacity as of September 2008, having grown at a rate of 17% per year since 1990. 4/11
Why ERD Electricity consumption is a main cost of SWRO. The RO reject stream contains most of the energy supplied to the seawater feed by the high pressure pump. Recovery of this energy and its utilization reduce the overall energy demand of SWRO. 5/11
History of ERD 1980 1990 2000 2010 Francis turbine turbocharger Rotary exchanger Piston exchanger Pelton turbine 1 Energy recovery turbine (ERT) with Pelton wheels. 2 Turbocharger, a turbine driven centrifugal pump, mostly applied. 3 Pressure exchanger(PX),using a rotating ceramic rotor and allows the feed and concentrate to have direct contact. 4 Dual work exchanger energy recovery(DWEER), an isobaric device that used a piston and valves to separate seawater feed and the concentrated return. 6/11
A new product of Danfoss 3-in-1 design High pressure pump Pressure exchanger Electric motor Advantages: Efficiency: Reduced energy cost by 60% compared to SWRO plants with no ERD. Simple: Fewer parts, easier installation. Fewer meters. Reduced fittings and pipes. Reliable: Such product integrates the booster pump to eliminate sealing issues. 7/11
Possible design Electric motor Booster pump Two impellers, connected to a motor through a shaft ,are used to raise the pressure of the fluid Pressure exchanger Pressure is transformed in the cylinder channels 8/11
A new product of KSB Booster pump Electric motor Pressure exchanger High pressure pump Advantages: Reduced operation costs High energy efficiency Reliable and safe Easy of system adaptation 4-in-1 design High pressure pump Pressure exchanger Booster pump Electric motor 9/11
Possible design Axial piston A plunger-pump similar structure is united into the pressure exchanger, energy to raise the pressure from both the energy of electric motor and the rejected water. shaft Swash plate 10/11
