Sustainable Desalination Handbook: Plant Selection, Design and Implementation

The need for ensuring freshwater supplies can never be overstressed since freshwater is the most essential commodity for sustaining human civilization and the economic development. Sustainable Desalination Handbook: Process design and Implementation Strategies provide a comprehensive knowledge base required for efficient and sustainable process design for existing and new desalination plants around the world. A valuable resource for understanding and utilizing the most recent developments in desalination technologies and methods. The author addresses process design and implementation, operational strategies, and novel discoveries that minimize the environmental impacts. In addition, Sustainable Desalination Handbook: Process design and Implementation Strategies features novel principles, illustrations, operational details, issues and potential solutions and sustainable management strategies for present and future desalination plants. Explains plant design and process selection criteria for each desalination processCovers international Regulations and permitting for Intake and discharge locations, design and disposalIncludes energy recovery schemes, optimization and process controlsCovers renewable energy sources such as: Nuclear, Geothermal, Solar and wind powered desalination and energy storage and optimizationThe case studies of recent desalination projects and process design INDICE: Section I: 3-5 chapters Title: Desalination - Energy and Environmental Issues Recent developments in (i) thermal desalination; and (ii) membrane desalination Introduction to principles of operation- Prof. Raphael Semiat Recent trends in membrane desalination - Prof. Anthony G Fane Recent trends in thermal desalination - Prof. HES Fath Energy and Environmental Issues in Desalination - Prof. Tamim Younos Renewable energy applications in desalination - Dr. Rob Passey Carbon footprint and carbon prices - Prof. Jacimaria R.
