Acknowledging the importance of transitioning from lab-scale processes to industrially viable solutions, our group delves into scalability research. This includes assessing the economic feasibility of seawater desalination, analyzing costs, and implementing strategies to make the processes more cost-effective and scalable for large-scale applications.

We are committed to evaluating and mitigating the environmental impacts associated with desalination and wastewater treatment. This involves a twofold approach: researching the sustainability and environmental impact of desalination processes and addressing concerns related to brine disposal through eco-friendly methods such as, crystallization, and resource recovery.

Our expertise lies in the development of cutting-edge polymeric and inorganic membranes designed specifically for desalination and water treatment purposes. Our goal is to develop membranes that not only exhibit superior performance and durability but also are cost-effective and scalable.

We emphasize the improvement of desalination technologies through continuous innovation in process design and digitalization. Additionally, our group is actively involved in the development of pre and post-treatment processes to ensure the production of high-quality desalinated water.

Embracing a sustainable future for desalination, our group pioneers the integration of renewable energy sources. We not only prioritize achieving zero liquid discharge but also utilize affordable modular solar-powered technologies for salt harvesting, ensuring an eco-friendly and economically viable approach.
