Abstract
In order to evaluate energy balances in the desalination processes, two simplified models are suggested: the first one for Reverse Osmosis process; the second one for distillation processes. These models are extended all over the involved country because we cannot consider the desalting plant only. We have to put in the picture the role of the electric energy to be tranferred to or from the surrounding country which is an electric energy user and/or producer. Reverse Osmosis is an electric energy consumer. It is competitive if the cost of electric energy is low. Distillation processes heated by steam are electric energy producers because the opportunity to cogenerate steam and electric energy. They are competitive if the sale value of the electric energy is high. The electric energy cost or value related to the country to be considered, is the factor checking the winner of the contest between the two processes.
