How do you design a thermal desalination plant where the driven force is steam with a wide range of pressures? And how can the project cope with hostile environmental conditions such as temperatures that drop below minus 20 C? This article describes how IDE Technologies overcame the challenges of building a multi-effect distillation plant in China, the largest seawater desalination plant in the country to date. This article first appeared in the May/June 2011 issue of Desalination & Water Reuse magazine.
