| Summary |
Seawater desalination is increasingly being used as a means to augment freshwater supplies in regions with high water stress, and reverse osmosis is increasingly the technology of choice because of the low energy consumption. However, seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) systems suffer from various types of fouling, which can increase energy consumption and the use of chemicals during SWRO operation. In practice, pre-treatment systems are put in place to reduce the particulate and biological fouling potential of SWRO feed water. However, simple, reliable and accurate methods to assess the extent to which biological fouling potential is reduced during pre-treatment are not available for seawater |

Abushaban completed his MSc in Municipal water and infrastructure at UNSECO-IHE, Netherlands. He is currently finalizing his PhD at Delft University of Technology, in which his research focused on development of methods to control biofouling and scaling of reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration membrane systems. His work included bench-scale, pilot-scale and even full-scale plants. Abushaban has extensive experience in assessing and troubleshooting the pre-treatment and membrane filtration performance of full-scale seawater/industrial treatment plants. Abushaban was awarded the innovation prize of the international desalination association (IDA) in 2017. Furthermore, Abushaban has worked as water and wastewater consultant engineer, in which he managed designing and rehabilitation of several water supply and sanitation projects in Palestine |
