Optimization of Seawater RO Systems Design

Overview The trend of investment and water cost in RO seawater systems is being evaluated. The cost data used for this evaluation are based on published information from operation of actual RO seawater installations and recent studies. The effect on process economics of major design parameters: recovery rate and feed water salinity based on three representative seawater water sources: Mediterranean, Atlantic and Pacific Ocean on energy consumption is analyzed. The objective of this evaluation is to determine economic feasibility of operating of seawater systems at higher recovery rates versus process optimization based a prevailing economic parameters. The optimized system design will be compared with the design of recent large seawater installations.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
