Present and Future Trend in the Production and Energy Consumption of Desalinated Water in GCC Countries
(2013)
Water is one of the pressing global challenges facing humanity. In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, it is considered as the most critical challenges and is expected to grow with time. GCC countries have chosen ...
Novel multiple effect direct solar distillation system of integrated solar still and HDH system
(2013)
A novel stand alone direct solar distillation system of integrated solar still with humidification–dehumidification (HDH) sub-system is presented and numerically studied. The integrated system utilizes the heat of condensation ...
Comparative study for different Demister Location in Multi Stage Flash (MSF) Flash Chamber (FC)
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-02)
Multistage flash (MSF) is a widely used technology in large capacity salted water desalination plants. The enhancement in the thermal performance of this technology is still prospective and promising. In this research, ...
Concentrating solar power (CSP) system integrated with MED-RO hybrid desalination
(2014-03)
Renewable energy technologies, in particular concentrating solar power (CSP), are becoming more and more interesting for powering water desalination system. Moving from a European Community funded project called MATS, ...
Numerical Simulation of the Flow in the Direct Contact Membrane Distillation Flow
(2014-11)
Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) is modeled using conjugate heat transfer Navies-stokes flow model. A uniform salty and relatively hot feed and colder fresh permeate flow driven by peristaltic pump are considered ...
Application of carbon nano-materials in desalination processes
(2013-01)
Scarcity of freshwater resources increases the importance of seawater and brackish water desalination processes. However, still, large amount of specific energy requirement, leading to high operational costs, presents a ...
Exergy and thermo-economic analysis of solar thermal cycles powered multi-stage flash desalination process
(2013-12)
Solar thermal power cycles assisted multi-stage flash brine recycle (MSF-BR) distillation process are thermo-economically analyzed and evaluated. In this work, the analyses are compared according to three different ...
Review and Assessment of the Newly Developed MD for Desalination
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09)
Although reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane seperation process which leads to the desalination market for both seawater and brackish water desalination, other newly developed membranes processes are emerging to be well ...
Experimental study of high-performance hybrid NF-MSF desalination pilot test unit driven by renewable energy
(2013-03)
This study presents the experimental results of a renewable energy (RE) driven, high-performance multi-stage flash (MSF) desalination unit integrated with nanofiltration (NF) membrane. The desalination pilot test is built ...
Optimal design of a hybrid solar-wind power to drive a small-size reverse osmosis desalination plant
(2013)
Providing clean water to small communities using renewable energy (RE) has long posed as a humanitarian challenge. Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination has been proven as a mature technology for supplying fresh water for ...
