  2. Desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination

    The world's largest desalination plant is located in Saudi Arabia (Ras Al-Khair Power and Desalination Plant) with a capacity of 1,401,000 cubic meters per day. [41] Desalination is currently expensive compared to most alternative sources of water, and only a very small fraction of total human use is satisfied by desalination. [42]

    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.

    The first desalination plant in Mexico was built in 1960 and had a capacity of 27,648 m 3 /day. [7] As of 2006, there were 435 desalination plants in Mexico with a total capacity of 311,700 m 3 /day. [74] One of the world's largest desalination plants (380,160 m 3 /day) is planned for Rosarito.

  6. Water conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_conservation

    Seawater desalination requires more energy than the desalination of fresh water. Despite this, many seawater desalination plants have been built in response to water shortages around the world. This makes it necessary to evaluate the impacts of seawater desalination and to find ways to improve desalination technology.

  9. Multiple-effect distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_distillation

    Schematic of a multiple effect desalination plant. The first stage is at the top. Pink areas are vapor, lighter blue areas are liquid feed water. Stronger turquoise is condensate. It is not shown how feed water enters other stages than the first. F - feed water in. S - heating steam in. C - heating steam out. W - Fresh water (condensate) out.
