Modeling the technological process of using sea water for drinking purposes

Abstract

The problem of providing high-quality drinking water to the population of the Sevastopol region, which can be reduced by using mineralized and sea waters, is considered. The results of scientific research on assessing the quality of groundwater and a description of the developed model of a desalination plant based on solar collectors, including a cycle for preparing a distillate for drinking water supply, are presented. The analysis of engineering, economic, environmental, social, political actions to solve the problem of drinking and technical water supply has been carried out. The combination of engineering and economic actions in solving the problem of lack of drinking water in the Sevastopol region is the development of an innovative design of a desalination plant. Integration of a solar plant and a desalination system is proposed, which will reduce energy costs, and the presence of two tanks for storing distillation water will allow the use of water both for technical purposes and, after conditioning, for drinking needs. A social action to ensure a solution to the problem is to inform local residents about the quality of groundwater. The political link is the financial and administrative support of the City Government in the development of scientific research aimed at finding alternative methods and technologies for obtaining drinking water. The strategy for solving the problem of drinking and technical water supply provides for a combination of engineering, economic, social and political actions and the development of a technological process for the use of sea and saline waters.
