FREEZING SEPARATION TECHNOLOGY FOR SEAWATER DESALINATION INDUSTRY: REVIEW ANALYSIS AND NEW HYBRID PROCESS PROPOSITION

The paper explores the freezing separation process for seawater desalination purposes. Recent developments and innovations occurring in the freezing separation process are presented. Moreover, the main methods currently being investigated in this process, especially for seawater desalination, are reviewed and discussed. Finally, the possibility to use hybrid process, currently having significant profits, is exploited in order to propose and develop new innovative seawater desalination system. As a result of this study and analysis, a hybrid process that is consisting of combining freezing technology upstream reverse osmosis (RO) module for seawater desalination was suggested
