Forward Osmosis: Commercialization and Acceptance Considerations- Juniper Publishers

Juniper Publishers- Journal of Civil Engineering Keywords Keywords: Forward osmosis; Desalination; Thermodynamic Abbreviations: FO: Forward Osmosis; O&G: Oil & Gas; WDR: Water Desalination Report; MBR: Membrane Bioreactor; HTI: Hydration Technology Innovations Introduction Until recently, forward osmosis (FO) has been primarily an academic pursuit. Significant scientific work and development have further advanced the technology, opened new applications, and improved both the financial and technical merits of the process. However, limited publicly available information on real world applications, cost data, and experience with engineered applications of FO has limited market acceptance and penetration. FO is now growing rapidly due to recent technical innovations, better suited applications, increased demand for novel solutions for difficult waters, and increased exposure. This work seeks to give an expert's perspective

Vertical Flexibility in Isolation Systems- Juniper Publishers

Juniper Publishers- Journal of Civil Engineering     Abstract This paper will review the history of three-dimensional (3-D) seismic isolation, its implementation and its drawbacks. It will cover the theoretical analysis of the rigid block on springs and the circumstances under which the various motions are and are not uncoupled. We will also review the records from a building with a 3-D isolation system that was impacted by fairly severe earthquake action. This review suggests that the search for full 3-D isolation is unlikely to be successful. Introduction While seismic isolation has been well accepted and widely used for over thirty years, it has been horizontal isolation that has predominated. The search for full 3-D seismic isolation has been the holy grail of research for all of these thirty years. It was originally assumed that they could be achieved by use of low shape factor elastomeric bearings that is bearings with thick rubbe

System Analysis and Optimization of Multi-Contaminant Water Reuse Network with and without Regeneration using a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm- Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers- Journal of Civil Engineering Abstract This paper proposed methodology to analyse the possibility of combination of hybrid optimization function with Single-Objective genetic algorithm (SOGA) for solving the multi-contaminant water reuse network with and without regeneration design problem. A non-linear model was considered due to non-linear multicontaminant constraints system. The freshwater use and wastewater production has been minimized, by applying the proposed method. Moreover, the parameters related to the implementation of the genetic algorithm that increase computer speed and satisfy optimum result were tuned before the result is confirmed. The solutions and parametric values so obtained have been further compared with the existing literature values. The results obtained are in agreement and comparable to those obtained from other methodologies and it even shows better result in considering multi-contaminant water reuse with regeneratio
