Abstract
Desalination processes are considered an essential solution to meet the water scarcity in Jordan. Among the desalination techniques, the multistage flash (MSF) desalination technique has a significant contribution to water budget in many regions around the world. In this paper, MSF with a mixing brine desalination plant was proposed in Aqaba city of Jordan. The plant will consume 5 MW power to produce about 74 Kg/s of freshwater. Different designs are studied to determine the most appropriate design. Also, the effect of feed sea water flow rate, heating steam flow rate and number of stages on the plant performance were evaluated. The optimum layout consists of 24 stages with 3.6 m width, 2.6 m length, and with a recycled brine flow rate of about 651 Kg/s. The expected plant performance is 9.6.
