A Study Reveals The Effectiveness Of Osmotic Cleaning

The team of the Water Technology Innovation and Advanced Research Institute, the research arm of the Saline Water Conversion Corporation, in cooperation with King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, published a new research study reviewing the effectiveness of a new method for cleaning reverse osmosis membranes, in an important step towards enhancing the sustainability of desalination and preserving the environment, as the study aims to Proving the effectiveness of osmosis in reducing pollution of reverse osmosis membranes at the level of experimental units.

The study revealed the extent to which the natural osmosis property can be utilized to remove pollutants from reverse osmosis membranes. The method relies on the use of a high-salinity solution, as this system allows water with low salinity to pass through the pores of the membranes, which leads to the removal of pollutants very effectively.

The results of the study showed the effectiveness of the new method in reducing energy waste by 50%, maintaining the performance of membranes in expelling salts, and increasing the rate of water production. This work is an important step in developing water treatment technologies in environmentally friendly ways, and represents significant progress towards achieving environmental sustainability in the field of water and the environment.
