ABSTRACT

This research analyzes the adverse impacts of accumulation on the performance of solar-powered multi-effect desalination (MED) systems. Using a validated dynamic model developed with Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, we exploit operational data from the PSA MED pilot plant in Almería, Spain, to illustrate how fouling negatively affects heat transfer, distillate production, and leads to increased energy consumption. The results highlight the need for effective antifouling strategies to ensure economic profitability and ecological sustainability.

Keywords: Multi-effect desalination (MED); Fouling; Solar energy; Thermal desalination; Brine concentration; Freshwater production
