Abstract
AbstractA review of Soviet research on saline-water conversion lists installations in operation or planned in the USSR. Long-tube vertical distillation, multistage flash distillation, vapor compression distillation, solar humidification, freezing, and electrodialysis are discussed. Significant progress is noted in the design and construction of large industrial conversion plants, notably at the Caspian Sea ports of Shevechenko, Bek-Dash, and Krasnovodsk, including a dual-purpose atomic plant with a 1-million thermal kw reactor at Shevchenko. But research and development is lagging on small-capacity desalting units suitable for small scattered consumers under desert conditions.
