This paper is related to the previous work (Manenti et al., “Parametric Simulation and Economic Assessment of Heat Integrated Geothermal Desalination Plant”, Desalination, 317, 193–205, 2013) and extends the steady-state simulation and process layout optimization by investigating the procedure to start up multi-effect distillation (MED) desalination plants. The operations involved in the startup procedure,...
The paper deals with the parametric simulation for design and optimization purposes of a heat integrated geothermal desalination plant for domestic use of fresh water, focusing on the appealing multi-effect distillation (MED) process to handle water shortage in remote locations with low-temperature geothermal potential. Several innovations are introduced in the simulation, such as a loop for the geothermal...
