- *Abstract
-
Researchersat Qatar Foundation have developed a Vacuum-Assisted Forward Osmosis System(VAFOS) designed to enhance the performance of forward osmosis (FO) waterdesalination, treatment, and purification. The advanced system addressesshortcomings of current FO membranes by using a vacuum to increase waterproduction capacity while simultaneously reducing the costs involved in theprocess. By helping to overcome the problems associated with FO, the process ismaking FO an affordable solution for areas of the world with limited (or no)access to safe drinking water.
