The energy–water nexus is addressed with the experimental demonstration of a solar-powered desalination process system. This system was designed for high-recovery treatment of subsurface agricultural drainage water as a reuse strategy as well as other brackish groundwater sources. These water source

The release of CO2 in multiple-effect distillers has scarcely been investigated and little has been published about it. There is no approach available to reliably predict the release rates in individual stages and the effects of influencing parameters. Until now the dimensioning of the design ventin

Several studies have demonstrated that the performances of combined cycle power plants can be optimised taking advantages of flue gas waste heat. However, despite the process advantages related to power cycle have been clearly identified no judicious use of flue gas heat to enhance performances in t

A new innovative and efficient system has been studied, realized and tested by SWS’s engineers for the production of top quality distillate TDS<0.1 ppm by evaporation of seawater in both MSF and MED desalination plants. This system is based on the combined effect of scrubbing the vapor outflowing fr

Between the fourth quarter of 1999 and the middle of 2001, the desalinated water production in the UAE will be increased by 30%. Several desalination projects have been started on a “fast track” mode with record completion time. Various new techniques have been adopted, from the technical or financi

In July 1997 the Spanish Government awarded the construction of the Las Palmas–Telde Desalination Plant to DETELCA U.T.E. The project consists mainly of replacing the existing Las Palmas I desalination plant of the MSF type with two advanced low temperature multi-effect distillation (LT-MED) seawate
