technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to desalination systems and methods, particularly methods using multiple effect evaporators. Background technique
[0002] Distillation of water, which is a common method of desalination, is the process of removing various soluble substances (eg, salts, pollutants, etc.) from water containing these substances, leaving clean and usually potable water. One known method of achieving this distillation relies on the evaporation of water, much like the accumulation of salt and scale on the bottom of an electric kettle after the water has been evaporated. During this process during water evaporation, non-volatile soluble matter remains as a solid residue, usually in the form of salt and scale, and is disposed of. The water vapor can then be condensed back into a liquid state, producing water free of contaminants.
[0003] One problem in the above process is the formation of scale on the surface of the evaporation equipment, whi...
