Market

Outlook

Current growth driven by high demand from the GCC Countries in the frame of IWPP (Independent Water and Power Production) Contracts

MED desalination technology and its derivative processes have the best attributes for the optimisation of combined power / water plants (whether based on fossile or nuclear energy)

Last contracts signed:

Ras Laffan C, Qatar: 286,400 m3/day

Fujairah II, UAE: 602,896 m3/day

Technical Part


How MED Works –

Single Cell

Principle

The MED evaporator

consists of several consecutive cells (effects) maintained at decreasing levels of pressure (and temperature) from the first (hot) cell to the last one (cold).

Each cell mainly consists in a horizontal tubes bundle. The top of the bundle is sprayed with sea

water

make-up

that flows down from tube to tube by gravity

Heating

steam

is introduced inside the tubes, and as the tubes are cooled externally by make-up flow, steam condensates into distillate

(fresh water) inside the tubes.

At the same time sea water warms up and partly evaporates by recovering the condensation heat (latent heat).

Due to evaporation sea water slightly concentrates when flowing down the bundle and gives brine

at the bottom of the cell.

The vapour obtained by sea water evaporation is at a lower temperature than heating steam. However it can still be used as a heating medium for the next effect where the process is repeated (see next slide).

The decreasing pressure from one cell to the next one allows brine and distillate to be drawn to the next cell where they will flash and release additional amounts of vapour at lower pressure. This additional vapour will condense into distillate in the next cell.

Single Cell

Arrangement


Standard Multiple Cells

Arrangement

This Scheme represents a Multiple Effect Distillation unit consisting of 3 cells

In the last cell the produced steam is condensed on a conventional shell and tubes heat exchanger (distillate

condenser) cooled by sea water.

At the outlet of the condenser, part of the warmed sea water is used as make-up of the unit, and part rejected to the sea. Brine and distillate are collected from cell to cell till the last one from where they are extracted by centrifugal pumps

The thermal efficiency of a unit is quantified by the Gain Output Ratio (GOR)

GOR = kilos of distillate

produced1 kilo of steam

introduced

GOR = 3


Enhanced

Process

using

Thermal Vapour Compressor

(MED –

TVC)

GOR can be enhanced by addition of a thermocompressor (TVC) between one of the cells and the hot one.

Using LP or MP steam

this static compressor will take part of the vapour raised in one cell and recycle it into higher pressure vapour to be used as heating medium for the first one.

GOR = 6


Desalination

without

available

steam

using Mechnical

Vapour

Compressor

(MED –MVC)

When

no steam

is

available, it is still possible to use the MED process by adding a Mechanical Vapour compressor (MED-MVC).

In such case the vapour is recycled from the cold cell to the hot one by means of a centrifugal

compressor

driven by an electric engine.

A maximum capacity of 5,000 m3/day can be obtained with current compressor technology


Optimising

for Winter and Summer Operations: Hybrid

Plants

Purpose: decrease overall fuel consumption of the Power Plant / Desalination Plant:

Priority for thermal desalination by recovery of the available exhaust steam (MED-TVC)

Balance of water production by RO or MED-MVC

Concrete Example: Combined thermal and membrane technology of Fujairah-2 Project signed in 2007:

100 MIGD MED-TVC + 30 MIGD RO

Attributes

& Benefits

of MED Technology

ATTRIBUTES BENEFITSNo Brine Recycling Pump

Electrical Consumption 2 to 3 times less than other thermal desalination processes

Less maintenance downtime and no need to shutdown all plant during pump maintenance

No sophisticated, expensive and critical rotating pump in place

Operation at temperatures below 65°C and at low concentration (<1.5)

Reduced corrosion and scaling

Low Maintenance Cost and High Availability

In the evaporator the steam circulates in the tubes, and the sea water is sprayed on the outside

No risk of distillate contamination in case of tube leak

No change in the quality of distillate in case of leak

Flexibility of the MED Plant design to steam pressure: from 0.35 to 40 bars

Thermocompressor can be added for steam above 2 bars to enhance efficiency

Unlike other thermal process which are limited by the Top Brine Temperature (2.7 bars), the design of the MED Unit can take benefit of higher steam pressures (until 40 bars)

Flexibility to seasonal changes of seawater composition (contamination by microorganisms / alguae)

Seawater treatment at intake is simple and easy to operate

No need for expensive, chlorine-sensitive membranes as in other desalination processes
