Reverse osmosis with an energy recovery device for seawater desalination powered by Geothermal energy
Human population is increasing rapidly so are do the energy and water demands. Nowadays, fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas are considered to be the main sources of energy. A clean and sustainable source of energy to decrease the use of fossil fuels is needed. Among the most attractive renewable energy sources is the geothermal energy due to its wide range of applications. A desalination system that is single stage-single pass (SS-SP) reverse osmosis (RO) with PX pressure exchanger (PX140S) configuration is analyzed. ROSA software was used to simulate the RO system with a specific energy consumption of 3.3 kWh/m3 and water permeate production of 450 m3/day, Moreover, HOMER software to simulate the dry geothermal power plant integrated with desalination unit was used. The system load used in this study was 1500kwh/day. With the use of these softwares, the best configuration was found to be using dry geothermal power plant of 40kW rated capacity and a backup generator of 98kW rated capacity. The excess energy was only 10%.
