Sustainability Assessment and Techno-Economic Analysis of Thermally Enhanced Polymer Tube for Multi‑Effect Distillation (MED) Technology

Sustainability Assessment and Techno-Economic Analysis of Thermally Enhanced Polymer Tube for Multi‑Effect Distillation (MED) Technology

Metal-alloys tubes are used in the falling-film evaporator of the multi-effect distillation (MED) that is the dominant and efficient thermal seawater desalination process. However, the harsh seawater environment (high salinity and high temperature) causes scale precipitation and corrosion of MED eva...
