20150352497 | SALT WATER DESALINATION EQUIPMENT - A salt water desalination equipment that can reduce a load on a salt water supply pump and a power consumption thereof is provided. A salt water desalination equipment includes a salt water supply unit that supplies salt water to a reverse osmosis membrane component, a forward osmosis membrane component to which concentrated salt water discharged from the reverse osmosis membrane component is supplied; and an assisting device to which a mixed water discharged from the forward osmosis membrane component is supplied and which is also connected to the salt water supply unit. The assisting device increases at least one of an electric power supplied to the salt water supply unit, a pressure given to the salt water supply unit, and rotation capacity to the salt water supply unit. | 12-10-2015 |
20130037479 | HOLLOW FIBER FORWARD OSMOSIS MEMBRANE - It is an object of the present invention to provide a hollow fiber forward osmosis membrane, which can enhance forward osmotic pressure energy acquired by permeation, and thus improve power generation efficiency in the forward osmotic pressure power generation, when dilution water such as freshwater permeates into seawater through the osmosis membrane. The relationship between optimal conditions for an inner diameter d and a length L of the hollow fiber osmosis membrane to be used for forward osmotic pressure power generation whereby dilution water such as fresh water is caused to permeate into non-concentrate seawater through the hollow fiber osmosis membrane to increase a flow rate on the side of the seawater using forward osmotic pressure energy thus generated, and power is generated using the increased flow rate, is expressed as equation (1) in the range of d=50 to 200 μm, L=0.5 to 2 m and J=1.7×10 | 02-14-2013 |
