This chapter gives an overview of the different technologies available for energy recovery and power generation from membrane-based desalination processes. In addition to introducing current desalination technologies, the basic principle of salinity gradient energy and technologies such as pressure-retarded osmosis and reverse electrodialysis are presented. This chapter also summarizes state-of-the-art devices for energy recovery used in reverse osmosis desalination as well as promising, novel alternative techniques for power production with membranes.

Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of the different technologies available for energy recovery and power generation from membrane-based desalination processes. In addition to introducing current desalination technologies, the basic principle of salinity gradient energy and technologies such as pressure-retarded osmosis and reverse electrodialysis are presented. This chapter also summarizes state-of-the-art devices for energy recovery used in reverse osmosis desalination as well as promising, novel alternative techniques for power production with membranes.
