✦ Synopsis
The mechanical vapour compression process and its application to seawater desalination is presented . As an example the largest unit so far constructed by Sidem using this process is described : a 1,500 m 3 /d unit installed in the Nuclear Power Plant of Flamanville in France which supplies a high quality water to that plant .
The advantages of this process are outlined, compared to other distillation processes : multiflash and ejectocompression, and the series of mechanical vapour compression units that Sidem has developed in a size range between 25 and 2,500 m3/d is also presented .
