Low temperature distillation for seawater desalination

摘要

Watersolutions AG has introduced the Watersolutions LTD system, a patented, cost-effective thermal process for seawater desalination based on the principle of low temperature distillation. The Watersolutions LTD system condenses water at low temperature and pressure, using waste heat (50-110°C) from thermal processes including renewable energy sources such as solar energy or geothermal energy. The system requires significant amounts of low grade waste heat (6-30 MW), which can be derived from any source including thermal power plants, district cooling systems, general industry, mining and waste incineration.
