Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) can be used to exploit the mixing energy e.g. between river water and sea water. A PRO membrane must be highly permeable for water, whereas salt ions should be retained. Furthermore, the structure parameter of the membrane support and backing structure must be low. This paper summarises an assessment of the pressure dependency of the structure parameter for flat sheet membranes, and a transport model for PRO and procedures for determination of the pressure dependency of the structure parameter are presented. The results from laboratory experiments show that that the structure parameter increases significantly with increasing trans-membrane pressure. The increase in the structure parameter was observed to depend on both characteristics of the membrane and the fresh water spacer. Using a finely textured tricot spacer reduced the pressure dependency on the structure parameter, compared to a coarser spacer. Applying a non-woven backing material between the membrane and the fresh water spacer also reduced the impact of pressure. The results show that membranes suitable for river water/sea water PRO must have a sufficiently low structure parameter and additionally resist severe deformation at relevant operating pressures.

Runde, Magne; Jonsson, Erik; Magnusson, Niklas; Solheim, Kristian Thinn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The internal pressures in the insulation of two 5-m long pieces of a state-of-the art mass-impregnated non-draining subsea cable have been measured under load current cycling at ambient temperatures ranging from 3 to 37 ... -
The Internally Circulating Reactor (ICR) Concept Applied to Pressurized Chemical Looping Processes
Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The internally circulating reactor (ICR) has significant potential to reduce costs and simplify scale-up of pressurized chemical looping process concepts. An ICR consists of a single reactor body divided into two or three ...
