Cost and energy needs of RO-ED-crystallizer systems for zero brine discharge seawater desalination

A zero brine discharge seawater desalination concept integrating reverse osmosis (RO), electrodialysis (ED) and crystallizer into a single system (REC) is presented. Analytical models were used to optimize parameters and minimize water production costs. Parameters varied were: the ratio of seawater...
