Description

This book describes the solar desalination test plant in Abu Dhabi, UAE and gives a summary of its first year performance and economics.

The plant has been operating successfully for 18 years supplying fresh water to the City of Abu Dhabi.

The plant was commissioned in September 1984 and was running until the year 2002 when it was dismantled after fulfilling its objectives.

The aim of the plant is to investigate the technical and economic feasibility of using solar desalination of seawater in providing fresh water to remote communities in the Middle East and to obtain long-term performance and reliability data on the operation of the plant.

The plant has proved its technical feasibility and proved to be reliable in operation with few minor maintenance problems that required slight plant modification.

Maintenance routines were established to maintain high plant performance.

The economic feasibility of the plant was established by comparing the cost of water from a solar MED plant with a conventional MED plant.
