Seawater desalination has become a vital technology to address water demand in many
coastal countries, its safe and efficient operation has become a crucial concern …

Mechanical oil recovery (ie, booming and skimming) is the most common tool for oil spill
response. The recovered fluid generated from skimming processes may contain a …

Marine oil spill response operations could generate a large volume of liquid oily wastes (eg,
emulsified oil, non-emulsified oil, and wastewater) that can be up to 30 to 40 times greater …

Seawater desalination is a potential solution for addressing water shortages. The number of
desalination plants projected and constructed in some regions has substantially increased …

As generally seen benign, seawater desalination is not without environmental concerns of
its own. All over the world, in thermal desalination plants, seawater feed is heated to extreme …

Gulf countries experienced rapid growth in the last four decades from oil production and its
price increase. Natural water resources are very limited to meet this growth, and as result …

This paper discusses the changes in spilled oil properties over time and how these changes
affect differential density separation. It presents methods to improve differential density, and …

Seawater desalination is increasing globally, and in light of this, it is necessary to look at the
environmental and ecological impacts of desalination plants on the marine environment …

Oil spills are of great concern because they impose a threat to the marine ecosystem,
including shorelines. As oil spilled at sea is transported to the shoreline, and after its arrival …

There is a huge risk of contamination of water bodies due to the various oil exploration,
transport, and industrial operational activities that are taking place across the world. Physical …
