In this paper a methodology for MSF process optimization taken into account process availability will be presented. The process optimal operative conditions, and the optimal equipment allocation in stand-by units when necessary will be performed, given a process model and cost data. In this paper a

Large dual-purpose power desalination plants are used to reduce the production cost of both electricity and water. Various combinations of power-desalination systems are conceivable in order to satisfy both power and water demands. The preference of one scheme over another would depend mainly on man

In this paper, a methodology for optimization of a given system configuration for dual-purpose desalination plants will be presented. The whole system is represented as a non-lineal programming (NLP) model solved using general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) [1]. The rigorous model incorporates a h

The aim of this paper is to present a rigorous model for Multi-Stage Flash Evaporation System (MSF). The MSF system is represented as a No Linear Programming (NLP) model. The model incorporates a high number of non-linear restrictions; so the achievement of the global optimum is difficult. Here, the
