Abstract

This paper firstly introduces the principles of Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) and Reverse Electro Dialysis (RED). It is concluded that the RED method is more suitable than the PRO method for power generation from seawater. Theoretical analysis of RED stack is made for the design of a test RED compartment. Tests were carried out to study the relationship between produced energy power density, test compartment width and ion exchange membrane area. Experimental conclusions are drawn out at the end of the paper.
