Abstract

The integration of pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) into desalination processes is studied here, specifically in the aspects of energy recovery. In particular, hybridization with thermal and reverse osmosis process is analyzed in detail, showing how PRO can improve the energy efficiency of the desalination process. Some remaining issues regarding this hybridization are discussed.
