Distillation-Based Technologies Early scientific descriptions of desalination centered around the application of distillation.
Figure 1 shows the energy consumption per unit volume of water FIGURE 1 Typical equivalent specific electrical power consumption for thermal and membrane distillation strategies based on data from Al-Karaghouli and Kazmerski These facilities typically discharge excess salt as hypersaline brine back into the ocean, with uncertain ecological effects.

It allows us to tap non-traditional water resources with great potential to provide a sustainable, drought-proof water supply. This capacity is expected to double by In many arid parts of the world such as the Middle East, Australia, Northern Africa and Southern California, the population concentration along the coast exceeds 75 percent.
Seawater desalination provides a logical solution for the sustainable, long-term management of growing water demand. At the end of , there were approximately 18, desalination plants worldwide, with a total installed production capacity of Two basic technologies have been widely used to separate salts from ocean water: thermal evaporation and membrane separation.
In the last 10 years, desalination using semi-permeable seawater reverse osmosis SWRO membranes Figure 1 has come to dominate desalination markets outside of the Middle East. Although membrane technology has gained significant traction in the Middle East, access to lower-cost fuel and traditional use of facilities co-generating power and water, has made thermal evaporation the dominant technology in the region.
Developments in SWRO desalination technology during the past two decades, combined with a transition to large capacity plants, co-location with power plant generation and enhanced competition from the Build-Own-Operate-Transfer BOOT method of project delivery, have resulted in a dramatic decrease of the cost of desalinated water.
One of the key factors that contributed to the decreased cost of seawater desalination is the advancement of the SWRO membrane technology. Health issues with Long term consumption of desalinated water 3.
Unacceptable high production energy consumption. Monetary cost beyond the reach of those who need it most. All of these issues can be resolved by abandoning the destructive and discredited open-intakes in favour new seawater abstraction methods.
