Power generation with salinity gradient by pressure retarded osmosis using concentrated brine from SWRO system and treated sewage as pure water
Keiichiro Saito,Morihiro Irie,Shintaro Zaitsu,Hideyuki Sakai,Hidechito Hayashi,Akihiko Tanioka +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) system between pure water and concentrated brine was used for salinity power generation using hollow fiber modules, which achieved the maximum output power density of 7.7 W/m2 at a 2.5 MPa hydraulic pressure difference and 38% permeation of pure water into the brine.

Biofouling and me: My Stockholm syndrome with biofilms
TL;DR: An integrated concept is presented as the result of a long journey of the author through biofouling problems, which requires rather an integrated strategy than aiming to invent "one-shot" solutions.

Biofouling—the Achilles heel of membrane processes☆
TL;DR: In this article, a fiber optical device which provides real-time, on-line, in situ information non-destructively is proposed which can be adjusted to membrane modules, including microbiological and biochemical parameters, and the differentiation between scaling or organic fouling can be performed by FTIR-ATR spectroscopical analysis.
