Can someone provide relevant design references for MED - TVC basic plant?

Published on by in Technology

Dear members, we are trying to establish a project at southern area of Iran to produce potable water through desalination (or distillation).

Can someone share their industrial experience about basic designing of multi effect distillation with thermo-compressor? We need some relevant references and experienced persons in this area. thanks in advance for the help.

  1. Dear haimd see if this link of any use DESIGN CHALLENGES AND OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE http://www.ide-tech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Design-Challenges-and-Operational-Experience-of-a-Mega-MED-Seawater-Desalination-Plant-in-Tianjin.pdf

  2. The MED-TVC evaporator is basically an MED evaporator fitted with a thermocompressor. The purpose of the thermocompression of the vapour is to take advantage of the pressure of the available steam, when this pressure is sufficient (i.e. above 2 bar abs), to enhance the units' performance. see this link may be useful to you, http://www.sidem-desalination.com/en/Process/MED/MED-TVC/

  4. MEVD

    Hamid,

    I developed a system, called Brine Bulb Technology, that combines MEVD with electrocoagulation to accomplish low energy distillation and has significant gains in efficiency the higher the TDS.  If you would like to learn more about the technology (still in R&D phase), feel free to contact me at eric.dole@tetratech.com.  Here are a few links to conferences I presented BBT at:

  5. Dear Hamid Rezvani, I have a mini design about water boiling from sun power.It may be useful for south east and african countries.But that Device can boil approximately fifty litre in a day.This device should keep in a 5-7 members / family/home.But it needs about 5000 US$ for research and development at initial.Hope we can make such types of thermal distillation for the drinking water supplement proposes.
