| Research supported by NAWI looks into the design of hybrid membrane systems using a forward osmosis- reverse osmosis (FO-RO) hybrid system. The study demonstrates how some membrane systems can exhibit self-regulating behavior due to a tendency for systems like these to move toward thermodynamic equilibrium. The researchers show how some membrane systems can leverage thermodynamics, rather than expensive control systems, to achieve steady state operation. Read the paper. |
