TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a fully integrated hybrid MSF/RO desalination power process, where a seawater RO plant is combined with either a new or existing dual-purpose MSF and power plants with the following advantages: • A common, considerably smaller seawater intake can be used.

TL;DR: In the case of natural sea water, evaporation at the liquid-vapor interface causes large interfacial instabilities inlet devices, such as vortex level control and flow distribution, induce instabilities at the inlet of the tubes, thereby causing increased waviness further down as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a flash-crystallizer-separator unit is used to separate geothermal brine into a gaseous fraction, a liquid fraction, and a solids fraction.

TL;DR: The seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant at Jeddah in Saudi Arabia has been successfully operating since April 1989 as discussed by the authors, where the main design features, construction and operation of the 15 MGD (56,800 m3 per day) seawater Reverse Osmosis plant are described.
