Abstract
Nowadays, desalinate of salty water had become a necessary industrial process to
overcome the next global crisis of leakage in freshwater, one of the keys to water
desalination is multi-stage flash (MSF) which is a thermal distillation technique that
has a large contribution to the production of freshwater.
The present project is made on the Al-Khafji multi-stage flash plant, which is
existing in Saudi Arabia in order to increase the plant efficiency and to produce more
freshwater than the original one which is our objective in this project. the method
that we been used to achieving these goals was by adding a reheat solar collector
cycle (RSCC) in the present plant, in order to use the brine water as feedwater for
our cycle instead of throwing it back. It contains 2041 LS-2 (PTC) in 8 Hectare to
achieved eh required energy. The result that we got after adding our cycle was
satisfied, the steam production was increased from 184000 to 198000 kg/hr around
7.7% (faster production ) and the gain output ratio (GOR) was increased from 7.8 to
8.4 (efficiency increased), so the objective for the present project was successfully
achieved.
Our next move will be using the RSCC in the Gulf of Aqaba in our country Jordan
which location is regarded as one of the sun-belt states in order to increase the
production of freshwater and to open the door for solar water desalination in our
Kingdom .
