Power generation performance of a bench-scale reverse electrodialysis stack using wastewater discharged from sewage treatment and seawater reverse osmosis

In this study, we evaluated steady state power generation performance of a bench-scale RED stack with an effective membrane area of 40 m2 under different flow rate conditions using brine discharged from a seawater desalination plant and water discharged from a sewage treatment plant. Constant current operation was enabled to evaluate the steady state power output of the stack as the salt concentration profile inside the stack approached...
