A review on flash evaporation desalination

Desalination is the process used to get the pure water from saline/brackish water to meet the water crises demand. Thermal desalination processes are mainly used for the mass production in industrial units. Flash evaporation is one of the main thermal desalination process used in industries. It has an opportunity to utilize this concept to develop the small-scale plant and domestic applications. This paper attempts to review the factors that affect the flash evaporation desalination process and discuss the performance of the different configurations.
