• Solar Thermal Desalination Technologies (2008)-

  The use of solar energy in thermal desalination processes is one of the most promising applications of the renewable energies.

  Solar desalination can either be direct; use solar energy to produce distillate directly in the solar collector, or indirect; combining conventional desalination techniques, such as multistage flash desalination (MSF), vapour compression (VC), reverse osmosis (RO), membrane distillation (MD) and electrodialysis, with solar collectors for heat generation.
