Basics
- The Removal of Salt and other Minerals from Saltwater / Brine , typically Seawater although there are other options such as Reclaimed Water , Produced Water , and Saline Wellwater
Methods + Quick Reference Data
Flash Distillation
- Flash distillation - 21 kWhr heat + 4kWhr mech per cubic meter. [1]. With heat pumps that makes it 11kWhrelectric total per cubic meter.
