Читать книгу Introduction to Desalination - Fuad Nesf Alasfour - Страница 12

Several desalination technologies have been invented, developed, and employed during the last seven decades, and the potentials behind such industrial developments are:

1 Satisfy the global increase in freshwater demand for drinking, and in industrial and agriculture sectors, in addition to hygiene requirements.

2 Compensate the capacity of limited natural freshwater resources specially in arid and remote areas.

3 Reduce the values of elevated intensive energy cost of freshwater production.

4 Reduce the potential levels of emissions and minimize negative environmental impacts on human and climate in terms of greenhouse effect and acid rain.

5 Provide efficient large size desalination system with the ability of integration with other conventional or renewable energy types.

6 Achieve water quality based on WHO rules and regulations or other specific industrial standards.

7 Manage wastewater processes that are associated with municipal and industrial sectors.
