Pressure driven adsorption cycle integrated with thermal desalination

The canned food market is growing at an annually average rate of 3.6% due to easy access and awareness dietary requirements, leading a surge in water withdrawal estimated supply-demand gap 40% by 2030. conventional desalination processes are not sustainable high energy requirements chemicals injection. adsorption cycle emerging technology for its temperature operation. It has many advantages over including integration synergy improve overall performance. AD processes, however, have lower performance inefficient packing adsorbent the beds heat transfer losses their massive exchangers. In this article, we propose innovative pressure driven (PDAD) overcome limitations. PDAD, firstly, low steam used regenerate which eliminates huge infrastructure requirement circulation secondly, selectively extracts vapours from pores, reducing consumption. We tested PDAD pilot showed successful regeneration silica gel motive 2–5 bar. also demonstrate that discharge 65 °C can be as source multi effect system when operating hybrid mode operational Our experiments show MED + increases production up 22% compared earlier MEDAD cycle. proposed excellent thermodynamic with combined CCGT power plant, where low-pressure bleed utilized more efficiently.
