Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Analysis for the Selection of Desalination Technologies

Accessible fresh water resources for drinking and usage are very limited in our world. Furthermore, these gradually decreasing due to climate change, industrialization, population growth. Despite the ever-increasing need water, inadequacies have made it critical develop alternative utility production methods. Desalination, one of most important alternatives supply, is on rise a global scale. Desalination facilities use various thermal membrane techniques separate salt. Concentrated brine, which contains desalination chemicals significant amounts salt, formed high volumes from processes, also concern. This article compares using multi-criteria decision-making method. The findings show that Reverse Osmosis & Membrane Crystallization process preferred technology its cost advantages as well operational efficiency. Similarly, Multistage flash &Electrodialysis, least alternative, has been criticized low cost-effectiveness. These results suggest efficiency will continue be main drivers evaluation technologies near future.
