The analysis of energy is the most important selection criteria for the choice of technologies which can be employed for the desired separation. The analysis of energy required for a given technology depends on various factors including the scale of separation, thus, energetics at the laboratory scale differs from that at the industrial level of operations. Hence the safest way to understand such a phenomenon is employing thermodynamics which can help in determining the maximum and minimum limits of energy which can be expected during a given operation. In the present section, a detailed thermodynamic analysis of various types of membrane‐based processes is explained. The chapter begins with the basic understanding of thermodynamic terminologies before delving into the most frequented membrane‐based process of Reverse Osmosis (RO) as well as the energy of desalination is explored from the perspective of minimum energy of separation. Afterward, forward osmosis technology is explained for various applications. The chapter ends with a thermodynamic analysis of Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) for energy generation and understanding the feasibility of PRO at the large scale.
