Abstract
This study is a continuation of the study of the Volume Freezing Multiple Phase Transformation (VFMPT) process for desalination and water reuse. During the first grant period, bench-scale experiments were completed for the VFMPT process and initial design of a prototype VFMPT plant was completed. During the course of the second grant, the vacuum freezing and vapor liquefaction operations were tested in a prototype unit referred to as the 40 Inch Long unit. It was concluded that a two rotating screws half submerged in the pool would be a very energy efficient method for providing the necessary surface areas. A flowsheet was developed for the VFMPT plant with detailed mass and energy balances and energy requirements determined.
