Multi-stage flash (MSF) and reverse osmosis (RO) are the most common techniques for seawater desalination. A significant difference between these methodologies consists of their different energy requirements, i.e., thermal energy for MSF and mechanical energy for RO plants. The presence of both desa

The performance and the cost of three vapor-compression (VC) seawater distillation systems of unit capacities 2 to 10 mgd are analyzed within the current distillation technology and its scale control. The results of the analysis are summarized in a cost-efficiency diagram. Increased unit size is ach
