Membrane Distillation Crystallizer for Salt Production

This project presents the crystallization of rejected brine from seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants through an innovative Membrane Distillation Crystallization (MDCr) system. In addition, it provides a sustainable brine management process, enabling resource recovery, which has greater economic importance. Therefore, this approach also helps in mitigating environmental challenges associated with the brine disposal. Preliminary findings from the pilot-scale implementation will demonstrate its technical feasibility and highlights economic advantages as membrane crystallizer.

Objective-Driven AI for Process Automation and Optimization in RO Desalination

Italmatch and IntelliSense will outline the application of industrial AI technology to for process optimization in Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination. We will introduce our approach and key learnings from the mining and metals industry. We will discuss key value opportunities in data quality, normalization, predict-simulate-optimize for managing biofouling and component life, and integration of AI with chemistry. Generative AI technologies, when coupled with this objective-driven AI, show promise for embedding domain expertise for consistent operational improvement.
