SAMPLE SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS:

The main focus of this project was the design of an efficient Energy Recovery System of Seawater
Reverse Osmosis Plant. The system will be using pressure technology by application of pressure
exchanger as an energy recovery device. Pressure exchanger transfer pressure from a high pressure
stream to slow pressure stream in a ceramic motor. The proposed system is limited only in reducing high
power consumption of the high pressure pump. The project can be used in all existing Seawater Reverse
Osmosis Plant in the Philippines. Some calculations, assumptions, and selections were made as a
consideration of a proper and realistic design.

METHODS:

Perhaps your research question is about culture, relationships or a new phenomenon and you want to
do in-depth exploration of social processes or participants’ meaning. If so, this lends itself to methods
like interviews, focus groups, observations, diary methods, case study or ethnography.

Alternatively, you may be ambitions and take ‘making the world a better place’ seriously and you want
to change or challenge social processes. In this case transformative research frameworks, critical
methodologies, feminist research, emancipatory research, action research or participatory approaches
are the best fit for you.
