    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at methods, systems and techniques for desalinating saltwater while generating electricity. A reverse electrodialysis (RED) stack is used to generate electricity, and the generated electricity is used to desalinate saltwater in an electrodialysis reversal (EDR) stack. As the RED stack relies on a concentration difference between two ionic fluids to generate electricity, a desalination plant that incorporates the RED and EDR stacks as described herein is referred to as a concentration difference energy plant. Brine discharge from a first desalination plant, such as a reverse osmosis plant, can be partially desalinated by the concentration difference energy plant, and the partially desalinated brine may optionally be returned to the first desalination plant for further desalination. This can result in several benefits. For example, the concentration difference energy plant can remove larger ionic species, which if not removed could cause scaling in the first desalination plant.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a modular humidification-dehumidification (HDH) apparatus and system for concentrating a solution including a plurality of internal modules coupled to each other. The plurality of internal modules includes a humidification module and a dehumidification module in gas flow communication with the humidification module. The humidification module includes humidification media facilitating evaporation of liquid from the solution to gas as the solution passes through the humidification media thereby producing a concentrated solution and a humidified gas. The dehumidification module includes a condensing heat exchanger for condensing vapour from the humidified gas.

    Abstract: A hybrid electrochemical water softening desalination system softens water by both electrodialytical and non-electrodialytical means before desalinating the softened water in a primary desalination subsystem. The concentrate produced as byproduct from the desalination is provided to a concentrate channel of the electrodialysis device employed, and the electrodialysis device extracts multivalent ions from the water to the concentrate channel. In some embodiments the electrodialysis device provides softened water directly to the primary desalination subsystem. In other embodiments the electrodialysis device provides electrodialytically softened water to a non-electrodialytical softening subsystem for further softening, before the softened water is supplied to the primary desalination subsystem. The arrangement integrates the concentrate disposal line of the primary desalination subsystem with the functioning of the electrodialysis device.
