MSF Desalination Plant Operation & Performance Ratio Calculations

Desalination technologies play a big role in supplying fresh water especially in Gulf area where shortage of Fresh water supplies is present. In this short course emphasize is directed towards multistage flash desalination systems.

The attendees will have the opportunity to be exposed to the recent developments in this area. Desalination technologies are overviewed, effect of the different operational parameters on multi –stage flash systems (MSF) are given. Design, operation and maintenance of MSF are presented. Full and part load operations are illustrated in connection with control systems.

• To enable attendees to understand the desalination technologies available
• To give the thermal and mechanical background of multistage flash systems
• To layout the theories for thermal as well as the mechanical sizing
• To illustrate the operation and troubleshooting of multistage desalination
• To give the maintenance schedules used for such plant
