Water cost

Water is an increasingly scarce resource and in many regions people are turning to new sources such as seawater and wastewater. Various membrane technology improvements in the last decade have led to a significant cost reduction in reverse osmosis (RO). This has triggered selection of seawater rever

While the fuel cost has increased in the past years, the desalinated water demand has also increased sharply, especially in the deserted areas. The challenge is to be able to meet such future demand, minimizing the water production costs. The desalination concepts have evolved, achieving substantial

The paper describes the results of a feasibility study jointly promoted by Israel Electricity Corporation and Aster – Sowit Division (Italy) aimed at investigation of the possible integration of the low-temperature flash (LTF) desalination technology in existing IEC power stations. The LTF technolog
