- Increasing global water demand and the shrinking of water aquifers necessitate the implementation of both seawater desalination and water re-use. Large-scale “water factories” in which these two processes are coupled via Forward Osmosis (FO) are envisaged e.g. Japan’s “Mega-ton Water System” and South Korea’s SeaHERO project. For the first time, full analytical equations were developed in this paper for a FO system. This enables process engineers working on such large-scale systems to accurately explore initial designs by enabling accurate size estimation of the FO units. Further developments are being undertaken with Korean Global Desalination Research Center (Director: Professor Kim <iskim@gist.ac.kr>).
