  2. Vapor-compression desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_desalination

    The form is designated ejectocompression or thermocompression. Using the second method, water vapor is compressed by means of a mechanical device, electrically driven in most cases. This form is designated mechanical vapor compression (MVC). The MVC process comprises two different versions: vapor compression (VC) and vacuum vapor compression (VVC).

  4. Water treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_treatment

    Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant, Washington, D.C. Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to make it appropriate for a specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including being safely returned to the environment.

  5. Multi-stage flash distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_flash_distillation

    Multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) is a water desalination process that distills sea water by flashing a portion of the water into steam in multiple stages of what are essentially countercurrent heat exchangers. Current MSF facilities may have as many as 30 stages.

  6. Multi-divisional form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-divisional_form

    Multi-divisional forms became popular in the United States in the 1960s. Companies that did not use it tended to develop more slowly. [2] During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the unitary form (U-form) was the most common structure of the largest industrial companies.

  7. Wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_treatment

    Sewage treatment plant (a type of wastewater treatment plant) in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Wastewater treatment is a process which removes and eliminates contaminants from wastewater. It thus converts it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. Once back in the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable impact on the environment.

  8. Multiple-effect distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_distillation

    Multiple-effect distillation or multi-effect distillation (MED) is a distillation process often used for sea water desalination.It consists of multiple stages or "effects". In each stage the feed water is heated by steam in tubes, usually by spraying saline water onto th

  9. Zero liquid discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Liquid_Discharge

    Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is a classification of water treatment processes intended to reduce wastewater efficiently and produce clean water that is suitable for reuse (e.g., irrigation). ZLD systems employ wastewater treatment technologies and desalination to purify and recycle virtually all wastewater received. [1] [2]
