- •
PRO is a viable source of generating green energy from TWE and brine in Kuwait.
- •
Sensitivity analysis were performed on PRO zero model using actual data from Kuwait.
- •
The results showed that CP is more significant than B′ at low ΔC.
- •
At high ΔC between the draw and feed solutions CP and B′ effects become negligible.
- •
PRO is used in reducing environmental impacts by diluting the brine prior discharge.
- •
It prevents transfer of nutrients in TWE to brine prior discharge into seawater.
- •
An equation is proposed to calculate the savings that PRO could provide.
