“…In conventional water treatment process the fuel consumption is more, so for avoid this solar powered desalination gain more attention, as sources of fuel are limited. The production rate of water by using solar powered desalination is more as compared to the conventional water desalination process [21]. With the proper solar radiation data collection and modeling after few years the solar powered desalination is the best option for convention desalination system.…”

Desalination is most important and traditional process to get the potable water. Day to day the demand of fresh and potable water is increased, so that desalination is important and gained more attention. In conventional process desalination for heating process fuel is used as the thermal source but the due to rapid decreas in the fuel storage it is necessory to go with the renewable energy for the desalination process. Traditionally fuel is used which emits the pollutants after burning and it is harmful to environment and human being also. This paper reviews the different types of desalination systems which are powered by solar energy. The solar powered desalination systems are cost effective and also give high rate of water production. The inlet temperature of water is effects on the daily water production rate, efficiency of the system and gained output ratio. Solar powered desalination systems are not commercialy used yet, but it is the emerging low cost energy can be used for desalination in future.

“…These new membrane technology is fast, accurate and also needs some technical requirements . High volume drainage of concentrated from desalination plants needs large packages of new zero discharge desalination (ZDD) membrane processes which lead to high process cost . So, the traditional integral type of zero discharge desalination is more convenient and also applicable .…”

The performance of one solar pond as a passive step in distilled and potable water production from desalination effluent is surveyed in this research. This solar pond is proposed in a zero discharge desalination process to prevent the salinity shocking which is made by a brackish water stream that exists from desalination units. The solar pond performance is evaluated by measuring three types of efficiency, experimentally, and mathematically. The efficiencies which are defined and calculated from experimental data are conductivity efficiency, thermal efficiency, and water recovery efficiency. The mathematical results are verified by experimental data which has been obtained during a year. The theoretical modelings show very good agreement with experimental data, especially for water collection and conductivity efficiency evaluation. The relative error of theoretical and experimental results for thermal efficiency evaluation through the day and night is obtained 7.2% and 4.9%, respectively.

“…The daily yield of a simple passive solar still is in the range of approximately 1-5 kg/m2 per day [3,7,8], which is not econom ically attractive. Farahbod et al [9] have conducted a theoretical analysis as well as an experimental setup for solar desalination. Their study demonstrated that the salt concentration and irradia tion are more important in the rate of condensation.…”

An investigation of the transient exergy property term, exergy storage, for a new desali nation tray design was performed. It was illustrated that exergy destruction rates provide a means of comparing alternative energy solutions and a measure of their sustainability. To satisfy these objectives one needs accurate calculation of exergy destruction rates. It was confirmed that neglecting the exergy storage term is not a valid approximation for the hourly and daily averaged values of the second law analysis. For a solar desalination system neglecting the exergy storage terms introduced a maximum difference in the exergy destruction rate of 7.4% and a difference of 7.3% in the daily average. In the solar desalination process with energy recovery the second law performance is greater than that for the reverse osmosis (RO) process, the chief competitor, when the exergy storage terms are correctly included in the analysis. The results demonstrate that for variable energy sources such as renewable energy systems, the second law analysis provides a measure of the sustainability of competing system and that the exergy storage terms should be included in the analysis.
