โœฆ Synopsis

Economic comparison is made for three different plant sizes. Small plants with a capacity below 100 m3/d, medium-scale plants with a capacity between 100 and 200 ms/& and large plants with a capacity above 200 m3/d. Compared are solar stills, solar-assisted desalination, reverse osmosis for small plants. Published comparisons of medium and large commercially available plants are reviewed. The economics of two new and one as yet undeveloped processes are compared. Dehumidification of air and a direct contact freezing process are new. Development of the butane freezing process for large plants can reduce watercost by over 30%.

Most important in any economic analysis of a desalting process is a comparison frame of reference. This "frame of reference" provides the means for comparison with other processes. One of the most generally accepted cost references for desalination plants is that published by Oak Ridge National Labo

The use of solar energy for desalination may be achieved in a variety of ways -the commonest technique being the conventional I improved solar stills. An alternative approach proposed by us earlier (International Solar Energy Congress, 1977) involves the integration of a solar energy collection syst
