| This study presents a thermodynamic model of a solar-driven hybrid desalination system integrating reverse osmosis (RO), air gap membrane distillation (AGMD), and a spray dryer to achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD) and enhance freshwater recovery. In this configuration, seawater is first treated by RO, producing freshwater and a concentrated brine stream that is further processed by AGMD using thermal energy supplied by a parabolic trough collector (PTC). The remaining brine is converted into solid salt via spray drying, eliminating liquid waste. A combined modeling framework is developed, including an element-wise solution–diffusion model for RO and system-level models for AGMD, PTC, and the spray dryer. The model predicts freshwater production, energy consumption, and salt recovery under varying operating conditions. At a feed flow rate of 16,000 L/h, the hybrid system produces approximately 9,300 L/h of freshwater, compared to 4,800 L/h for a standalone RO system. Although electrical energy consumption increases from 19 to 23.5 kWh/h, solar thermal input improves overall efficiency. The system achieves up to 135 kg/h of solid salt with product water quality below 500 mg/L TDS. The proposed system offers improved water recovery, effective brine management, and a sustainable solution for water-scarce regions. | ||
