Multiple effect distillation

This paper presents a novel mathematical formulation for modeling-based optimization of the multiple effect distillation (MED) water desalination process using thermal vapor compression (TVC). The presented model is based on a mass flowrate decoupling concept where flowrates of salt and water in the p

Recent studies dealing with the potential of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) for desalination along the Mediterranean Coast and in the Middle East choose to use RES to generate electricity first, and then use this electricity to power desalination. The present work eliminates the phase of electricity

Recent developments in desalination technology have resulted in significant savings in cost compared with earlier plants. Both distillation and reverse osmosis processes are now viable means of water production from a seawater source in the developing countries of the MENA area as well as in the mor
