Improving the recovery of desalination processes can have economic benefits, as feed and brine volumes are minimised. Furthermore, brine volume minimisation (BVM) simplifies brine treatment prior to disposal and hence, alleviates potential environmental concerns. However, BVM is not widely applied,...
