Our proposal titled "Off-Grid Tidal Turbine-Driven Centrifugal Reverse Osmosis System" has been awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for $607,819 to support advancements in marine energy desalination.
(Award number: DE-EE0010984)
This project will develop, test, and establish proof-of-concept for a tidal desalination system that produces drinkable water from the rotational power of hydrokinetic turbines, bypassing the need for electrical energy. Lab-scale turbine testing, featuring a downstream cylinder that mimics the centrifugal reverse osmosis (CRO) module, will be conducted at Lehigh University's Tidal Turbulence Test Facility. Experiments and simulations of the CRO module will be carried out at Binghamton University and Cleveland State University, respectively.
