Reverse Osmosis Seawater Desalination Volume 1 (Repost)

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is the dominant desalination process worldwide for obtaining fresh water from the sea. The subject matter and scope of this book is the conceptual and advanced planning, design and engineering of plants of this desalination process together with the associated facilities for seawater pretreatment, post-treatment of the product water, wastewater treatment, seawater extraction and plant discharge.
Volume 1 of the book comprises

Strategic considerations regarding the role of seawater desalination in an integrated water management consisting of natural water resources, water recycling and desalination
Composition of seawater in different marine regions as well as its physical and physicochemical properties and their dependence on salinity and temperature
Description of the methodology used in the overall planning, design and implementation of an SWRO project, as well as in the associated site selection and the development of an ecological concept for the plant
Explanation of the design basics and their application in the dimensioning of the RO units of an SWRO and its energy recovery processes
The book is intended to be used by technicians, engineers, economists and ecologists in the planning, design and operation of SWRO plants, as an educational and training tool, as well as an aid in environmental licensing of membrane desalination plants, and by interested laypersons for information about this process.
