Techno-economic analys of seawater desalination technologies
Seawater desalination has already confirmed its potentiality to resolve the fresh water problems in numerous countries. It is, however, to be noted that in spite of the good reliability and favourable economic aspects of desalination processes, the problem of high energy consumption till remains to be resolved. In case of extraordinarily costly traditional means of water supply and availability of possible financing at low interest rates for renewable sources (solar thermal and photovoltaic) solar desalination can be a viable option. It is to be noted that for stand-alone configurations and smaller sized systems (approx. 1000 m3/day) photovoltaic system appears to be important. However, for large scale plants coupling of desalination processes with high temperature solar technologies needs to be investigated thoroughly.
