Abstract:
A multistage flash (MSF) desalination system is described. The MSF desalination system comprises a feed tank, a brine heater (BH), an MSF tower with n number of stages, n−1 number of condensers each with an inlet and an outlet, and a desalinated water tank. Herein, the feed tank is connected to a first pump, which is connected to the BH; the MSF tower comprises a stepped pyramid shape with n number of connected chambers. The n number of stages each contains at least one flash spray nozzle and a demister. The flash spray nozzles are fluidly connected to drainage of the previous stage, with the flash spray nozzle in the first stage connected to the BH. Further, the condensers are connected to the demisters in n−1 stages and to the next condenser, with the last condenser connected to a second pump, which is connected to the desalinated water tank.
