Abstract

Forecasts of the state of global water supplies and future water demands have prompted water planners in many parts of the world to look to new technologies and nonconventional water resources. The project provides an in-depth technical and economic feasibility analysis of the principle offshore desalination design concepts including a comparison between mobile vessel and fixed platform offshore facilities and how they compare to land based facilities.

Originally funded as WERF project Desal-06-10b.
