Solar power assisted different techniques of MED-VC (multi effect distillation-vapor compression) processes is thermo-economically analyzed and evaluated. In this work, two techniques of solar power cycles are considered to power on MED-PF-TVC, MVC (multi effect distillation thermal and...

Reduction of SEC (specific energy consumption) is the field with the most specific technical research focus and effort in SWRO (seawater reverse osmosis) plants. For existing installations with energy recovery systems consisting in Pelton turbines, the most significant challenge is how to reduce...

Desalination driven by renewable energies is an interesting technology in isolated coastal areas. Its feasibility and reliability are guaranteed by innumerable designs implemented and experiences carried out, mainly focused on small capacity systems. However, only mature and efficient...
