MED-TVC Desalination System

Multiple Effect Distillation with Thermal Vapour Compression (MED-TVC)

A Multi Effect Desalination (MED) unit functions as an evaporator, where seawater undergoes evaporation in one or more stages (up to 14), operating at low temperatures (<70°C) to generate purified distillate water. The MED process is engineered to generate distilled water using steam or excess heat from power generation or chemical operations to yield potable water.

GOR is a parameter that quantifies the energy efficiency of the process by comparing the energy input required to produce a certain amount of fresh water to the energy output achieved. A high GOR indicates efficient energy use in the desalination process, meaning that more freshwater is produced per unit of energy input. This is particularly advantageous in regions where energy costs are high, or energy availability is limited.

By utilising MED-TVC desalination technology with a high GOR, communities and industries can access a reliable and sustainable source of fresh water while minimising energy consumption and environmental impact. This makes MED-TVC an attractive solution for addressing water scarcity challenges and promoting water sustainability worldwide.
