Foreword
The Greening of Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) Systems: Focus on Intakes and Outfalls Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) has emerged as the conventional seawater desalination technology, globally. While SWRO is less energy intensive than thermal processes’ such as multi-stage flash (MSF) and multi-effect distillation (MED), it is still an energy intensive process (3–4 kWh/m3). Moreover, with increasing emphasis on green technologies, the present practice of SWRO is characterized by a number of significant environmental impacts, including energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) e
