Boosted Multi-Effect Distillation for sensible low-grade heat sources: A comparison with feed pre-heating Multi-Effect Distillation

摘要

Sensible low-grade heat, such as process waste heat and many renewable energies, promises a vast potential for thermal desalination processes. Conventional Multi-Effect Distillation (MED) technologies, constrained by their inherent design, fail to unleash its full potential by a far measure.
