METHODS AND SYSTEM OF SEA WATER DESALINATION USING SOLAR AND BIOMASS ENERGY

摘要

A method and system of the sea water desalination using the solar and biomass energy is provided. The seawater is desalinated using a low pressure saturated steam which act as thermal source for a multiple effect distillation unit. The saturated steam required for the desalination of the sea water is supplied by a solar steam generator supported by a biomass boiler. The solar steam generator produces high pressure steam which is depressurized and passed to the thermo vapour compressor as motive steam. The motive steam compresses the entrained steam from the last effect of the multiple effect distillation unit. The low pressure saturated steam coming out of thermo vapour compressor is used to then drive the multiple effect distillation unit to produce the desalinated water.
