Hybrid Thermal Desalination Systems

Hybrid systems combine thermal desalination processes like MSF or MED with membrane-based technologies such as Reverse Osmosis (RO). This approach optimizes energy consumption and improves freshwater output by balancing both processes.

• Applications: Large-scale desalination plants where feedwater quality varies or where both thermal and RO technologies can be integrated.

• Advantages: Reduces energy consumption, improves flexibility in water production, and maximizes output by combining thermal and membrane technologies.
