Paper Title:

Modeling and Optimization of Brackish Water Solar Desalination Plant Working on Reverse Osmosis Process

Abstract: Nowadays, brackish and sea water desalination has became one of important   fresh water sources in arid and semi-arid regions suffering from water scarcity.  The reverse osmosis process which is one of desalination process requires large amount of electric energy, it’s around 3.5–5.0 kWh/m3. Hence, solar energy-powered reverse osmosis systems are promising technologies for brackish and seawater desalination notably for small remote communities. These systems can be designed according to water demand and energy resource. This work aims to minimize the specific energy consumption (SEC) of a solar desalination plant working on reverse osmosis process to produce fresh water from brackish water (BWRO). Two scenarios are taken into account; (1) BWRO without recovery device, (2) BWRO with energy recovery device (turbine). A mathematical model and an algorithm in the MATLAB area have been developed and validated. The results show that the minimum value of specific energy consumption for the proposed plant is about 0.1269 kWh/m3 for 47%  of water recovery.

Paper Title:

Materials and Surrounding Structures for Implementation of "Medical" Modules In Extreme Situations

Abstract:  The use of fruit warehouses (as a secondary use) for medical purposes in extreme situations requires appropriate solutions for protection of the structures from destructive external influence, e.g. concentrated hits by vehicles, sanitary carts and others. In this regard various solutions have been developed i.e. patented inventions for protection of the internal spaces in case of radiation, bacteriological contamination, military conflicts and others. Here are also explained the applications of stretched membranes as well as the use of tensegrity structures as a way of execution of protective screens for the chambers and volumes to be used under other harmful external conditions – acid rain, volcanic ash, formations of smog and others.

Paper Title:

Effect of Garden Grass Adsorbent on the Performance of Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT)

Abstract: In the present work, Garden Grass was used to enhance the removal efficiency of Soil Aquifer System (SAT) for the removal of Cadmium(Cd) and Lead(Pb). The column studies were carried out using 3 different concentrations for both metals in Synthetic water (5, 15, 25mg/L) and varying adsorbent heights  (20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%)  in 0.8m soil depth. Soil properties were determined and Loamy Sand soil was used. The efficiency of SAT to remove Cd and Pb without Garden Grass resulted in 47.2%, 49.8%, 45.5% for Cd and 38.4%, 44.5%, 43% for Pb. The conjunction of Garden Grass in SAT resulted in increased removal efficiency. Whereas the efficiency was observed maximum at 80% height of adsorbent resulting in 81.6%, 82.4%, 69.7% for Cd and 36.7%, 57.2%, 48.2% for Pb. Comparison studies show that SAT in conjunction with Garden Grass showed better performance than without adsorbent one.
