Water desalination

Martin Degos
Introduction
• Desalination is a process that removes minerals from saline water.
• Salt water is desalinated to produce fresh water suitable for human
consumption or irrigation.
• “At the moment, around 1% of the world's population are dependent on
desalinated water to meet their daily needs, but by 2025, the UN expects
14% of the world's population to be encountering water scarcity”
Christopher Gasson (Global Water Intelligence)
Where are they used ?
• Australia
• Many countries in the Middle East:
- The single largest desalination project
is Ras Al-Khair in Saudi Arabia (1,025,000
cubic meters per day)
- Israel  produces 40% of its domestic
water use from seawater desalination
Methods
• Distillation
• Multi-stage flash distillation (MSF)
• Multiple-effect distillation (MED|ME)
• Vapor-compression (VC)
• Ion exchange
• Membrane processes
• Electrodialysis reversal (EDR)
• Reverse osmosis (RO)
• Nanofiltration (NF)
• Membrane distillation (MD)
• Forward osmosis (FO)
• Freezing desalination
• Geothermal desalination
• Solar desalination
• Solar humidification-Dehumidification (HDH)
• Multiple-effect humidification (MEH)
• Methane hydrate crystallization
• High grade water recycling
• Seawater greenhouse
Multistage flash desalinator
• Multi-stage flash distillation plants produce about 60% of all desalinated
water in the world
• An evaporator consists of several
consecutive stages (evaporating
chambers) maintained at decreasing
pressures from the first stage (hot) to the
last stage (cold).

Water desalination

  • 2. Introduction • Desalination is a process that removes minerals from saline water. • Salt water is desalinated to produce fresh water suitable for human consumption or irrigation. • “At the moment, around 1% of the world's population are dependent on desalinated water to meet their daily needs, but by 2025, the UN expects 14% of the world's population to be encountering water scarcity” Christopher Gasson (Global Water Intelligence)
  • 3. Where are they used ? • Australia • Many countries in the Middle East: - The single largest desalination project is Ras Al-Khair in Saudi Arabia (1,025,000 cubic meters per day) - Israel  produces 40% of its domestic water use from seawater desalination
  • 4. Methods • Distillation • Multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) • Multiple-effect distillation (MED|ME) • Vapor-compression (VC) • Ion exchange • Membrane processes • Electrodialysis reversal (EDR) • Reverse osmosis (RO) • Nanofiltration (NF) • Membrane distillation (MD) • Forward osmosis (FO) • Freezing desalination • Geothermal desalination • Solar desalination • Solar humidification-Dehumidification (HDH) • Multiple-effect humidification (MEH) • Methane hydrate crystallization • High grade water recycling • Seawater greenhouse
  • 5. Multistage flash desalinator • Multi-stage flash distillation plants produce about 60% of all desalinated water in the world • An evaporator consists of several consecutive stages (evaporating chambers) maintained at decreasing pressures from the first stage (hot) to the last stage (cold).
  • 8. Energy consumption Desalination Method Multi-stage Flash Multi-Effect Distillation Mechanical Vapor Compression Reverse Osmosis(RO) Electrical energy (kWh/m3) 4–6 1.5–2.5 7–12 3–5.5 Thermal energy (kWh/m3) 50–110 60–110 None None Electrical equivalent of thermal energy (kWh/m3) 9.5–19.5 5–8.5 None None Total equivalent electrical energy (kWh/m3) 13.5–25.5 6.5–11 7–12 3–5.5
