项目摘要

This research aims to investigate the practical application of forward osmosis (FO) systems and optimize their design to determine the viability of FO technology for water production. The study is crucial to provide support for proposed water re-use and desalination schemes, offering potential solutions to water scarcity. While FO membrane and draw solution designs have been extensively studied, there's a research gap in array and module design for these systems. This aspect requires deeper exploration to assess its potential in enhancing overall system performance, as the integration of various components for maximum efficiency remains relatively unexplored.The research will address these gaps through laboratory testing of the FO system. Experimental approach is important to validate FO's applicability across different feed water types and industrial contexts. The results from the lab-based experiments should be evidence FO's adaptability in various scenarios, from conventional industrial applications to emerging innovative contexts. The research's impact extends beyond the laboratory, envisioning the real-world application of forward osmosis technology to meet global water demands. By filling knowledge gaps, optimizing system design, and validating versatility through empirical evidence, this research could lead to practical and sustainable water production solutions that effectively tackle water scarcity.

本研究旨在探讨正渗透（FO）系统的实际应用，并优化其设计，以确定FO技术用于制水的可行性。这项研究对于为拟议的水再利用和海水淡化计划提供支持至关重要，为水资源短缺提供了潜在的解决方案。虽然FO膜和汲取溶液设计已被广泛研究，但在这些系统的阵列和模块设计方面存在研究空白。这方面需要更深入的探索，以评估其在提高整体系统性能方面的潜力，因为整合各种组件以实现最大效率仍然相对未被探索。研究将通过对FO系统的实验室测试来解决这些差距。实验方法对于验证FO在不同给水类型和工业环境中的适用性非常重要。基于实验室的实验结果应该是FO在各种场景中的适应性的证据，从传统的工业应用到新兴的创新环境。该研究的影响超出了实验室，设想了正渗透技术在现实世界中的应用，以满足全球的水需求。通过填补知识空白，优化系统设计，并通过经验证据验证多功能性，这项研究可以导致实用和可持续的水生产解决方案，有效地解决水资源短缺问题。
