“…In order to avoid fouling corrosion troubles of the tubes, the temperature difference between effects is limited in the range of 2.25°C-5°C and the salt concentration of the brine ranges from 46,000 ppm to 69,000 ppm in real industrial system [15][16][17]. The temperature of first effect is limited to 55.8°C-75.8°C and the temperature of the last effect is 42.8°C-46.8°C.…”

“…It consisted of four identical units; each had 12 effects, with a gain output ratio of 16. The steam was supplied from two boilers at 45 bars to the plant (Temstet, 1996). More units of 1, 1.5 and 2 MIGD were also ordered and commissioned in UAE between 1996 -1999 due to excellent performance of the previous projects ).…”

“…The results of both models were combined to obtain the performance of a CSP-RO co-generation scheme. Thirdly, an analysis and comparison between: 1) the CSP-RO modelled; 2) a CSP-MED co-generation scheme previously studied in [2]; and 3) data from a real TVC-MED plant that exists in Trapani, Sicily [3].…”

Abstract:The objective of this paper is to analyse the physical performance of two technologies in a water and electricity co-generation scheme: Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant coupled to a Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit for a location in the city of Trapani, in southern Italy. The modelled system is compared with the results of another study [2], in which a Multi-Effect Desalination (MED) is powered by a CSP plant for the same location in Italy, using as reference an existing stand-alone gas powered MED plant located at Trapani [3] (which has operated until very recently). The overall aim is to assess and compare these two cogeneration schemes, using as reference the existing MED plant. This work was conducted using as the main simulation tool: the System Advisor Model (SAM) developed by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); a recent upgrade to SAM made available to this work through Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia I.P. (LNEG); and the Reverse Osmosis System Analysis (ROSA) developed by the Dow Chemical Company. A technical visit to a real commercial RO plant in the south of Portugal (Alvor) was conducted, and the data gathered was used in the validation of the ROSA model. The results for the Trapani case study show that the CSP-RO arrangement has the capability to produce ~50% of the total production of the full scale plant at Trapani, if operated at nominal capacity, year round. Also, the CSP-RO system provides ~20% more electricity and water than the CSP-MED system throughout the studied period of one year. The two co-generation schemes provide promising potential to fight the issues related to fresh water shortages and dependency on fossil fuelled desalination. Thus, they can aid in decreasing the effects associated with CO 2 emissions and climate change.
