Technology development and application of solar energy in desalination: MEDRC contribution

open access: yesRenewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2011
Desalination has become one of the sources for water supply in several countries especially in the Middle East and North Africa region. There is a great potential to develop solar desalination technologies especially in this region where solar source is ...

Development of a Solar Desalination Plant

South African Journal of Geology, 2016
South Africa is predominantly a water scarce country with many parts having limited access to water. Water quality is an additional stressor affecting available water supply. In the semi-arid to arid regions of the country, significant salt loading in water resources occurs where anthropogenic influences can be excluded.

Advances in Desalination Technologies: Solar Desalination

2014
Availability of freshwater is the prime mover of the human life activities. The advances in desalination technologies clearly show that desalinated water can be used as a substitute for freshwater to be used as potable water. A breakthrough in reverse osmosis costs has been reached, particularly in decreasing energy consumption.

Overview of solar desalination

Desalination, 1993
Abstract This paper presents an overview of solar powered desalination plants based on nearly 50 scientific papers and technical reports. Systems such as solar stills, solar pond water desalination, multieffect solar desalination and PV cells application plants are considered.

Modeling a solar desalination

RE&PQJ
 In the last years the demand on fresh water continuously increase worldwide and the future demand is difficult to estimate, but due to the growth of population and the increase of the worldwide demand on consumer goods the water demand will also rise in the close and far future.

Solar desalination in Sudan

Desalination, 1993
Abstract There are many scattered small communities in the Sudan rural areas lacking both good drinking water and a reliable power source. Also the demand for distilled water is growing rapidly particularly for cosmetic and perfume industries, chemical laboratories and storage batteries charging places.

A REVIEW OF DESALINATION BY SOLAR STILL

2007
This communicating article reviews desalination by solar still, and the recent studies on the solar still systems. The review includes basic principle of solar distillation, and also the quality of distilled water. A classification of the solar still systems was made in order to explain the types of solar still systems.

Hybrid control for a solar desalination plant

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2009
Abstract The AQUASOL solar desalination plant at the Plataforma Solar de Almeria (Spain) is based on a multi-effect desalination technology that combines gas and solar thermal energy to achieve a desired distillation flow. The process hybrid behavior involves interactions between continuous and discrete dynamics.

Global applicability of solar desalination

Renewable Energy, 2016
Over-exploited fresh water resources, fossil-fuel depletion and climate change all highlight need for desalination powered by renewable energy. This study briefly reviews literature on solar desalination technologies and examines economic and environmental feasibility. The maturest technology appears to be reverse osmosis driven by photovoltaics.
