  • Renewable Energy Opportunities in Water Desalination
    8 Renewable Energy Opportunities in Water Desalination Ali A. Al-Karaghouli and L.L. Kazmerski National Renewable Energy Laboratory Golden, Colorado, 80401, USA 1. Introduction Desalination is a water-treatment process that separates salts from saline water to produce potable water or water that is low in total dissolved solids (TDS). Globally, the total installed capacity of desalination plants was 61 million m3 per day in 2008 [1]. Seawater desalination accounts for 67% of production, followed by brackish water at 19%, river water at 8%, and wastewater at 6%. Figure 1 show the worldwide feed-water percentage used in desalination. The most prolific users of desalinated water are in the Arab region, namely, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain [2]. Fig. 1. Worldwide feed-water percentage used in desalination (http://desaldata.com/). Desalination can be achieved by using a number of techniques. Industrial desalination technologies use either phase change or involve semi-permeable membranes to separate the solvent or some solutes. Thus, desalination techniques may be classified into two main categories [3]: • Phase-change or thermal processes—where base water is heated to boiling. Salts, minerals, and pollutants are too heavy to be included in the steam produced from boiling and therefore remain in the base water. The steam is cooled and condensed. The 150 Desalination, Trends and Technologies main thermal desalination processes are multi-stage flash (MSF) distillation, multiple- effect distillation (MED), and vapor compression (VC), which can be thermal (TVC) or mechanical (MVC). • Membrane or single-phase processes—where salt separation occurs without phase transition and involves lower energy consumption.

Box 54224, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Abstract Fossil fuels have been used as the main energy source for the desalination technologies. The continued increase in the demand for desalinated water has resulted in rising greenhouse gas emissions and threat to available fuel reserves. Consequently, most commercial desalination processes powered by fossil fuels have significantly contributed to environmental pollution. Renewable energy comes into the picture as an environmental friendly option as well as a means of fossil energy minimization. In this paper, a review on the use of renewable energy in recent desalination processes has been carried, with a focus on wind and geothermal energy. Keywords: Renewable energy; Desalination; Wind; Geothermal; solar desalination has been widely developed and improved in recent Sustainability years, only the applications of wind and geothermal sources of energy have been reviewed in this paper. Introduction Utilizing Renewable Energy Sources for Desalination About 97% of the earth’s water is saline water that is present in oceans and the remaining 3% is fresh water present in rivers, lakes and The selection of a suitable desalination technology driven by wind groundwater [1].

  • Geothermal Energy Utilisation
    Presented at Short Course X on Exploration for Geothermal Resources, organized by UNU-GTP, GDC and KenGen, at Lake Bogoria and Lake Naivasha, Kenya, Nov. 9-Dec. 1, 2015. Kenya Electricity Generating Co., Ltd. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY UTILISATION Martha Mburu Geothermal Development Company P.O. Box 100746, Nairobi 00101 KENYA [email protected] ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is energy derived from the natural heat of the earth. The earth’s temperature varies widely, and geothermal energy is usable for a wide range of temperatures from room temperature to well over 300°C. Geothermal energy can be used for both electricity generation and direct uses depending on the temperature and chemistry of the resources. High to medium resources are used for electricity generation while medium to low resources is mainly used for direct application. For efficient utilization of resources, geothermal energy is being utilized for combined heat and power. Since geothermal energy is renewable, indigenous and environmentally benign, and can be used as base load, it will be the future source of energy in Kenya and most of the Eastern African countries especially those that are located within the east Africa Rift. This will reduce uses of fossil fuels and hence address global warming. 1. INTRODUCTION The word geothermal was developed from two Greek words, “geo”, meaning earth, and “thermos”, meaning heat since it is power extracted from heat stored in the earth. This geothermal energy originates from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. Geothermal heat, is estimated to be about 5,500°C at the Earth’s core – about as hot as the surface of the sun.

External Editor: Nicholas Hankins Received: 11 July 2014; in revised form: 16 October 2014 / Accepted: 22 October 2014 / Published: 12 November 2014 Abstract: This theoretical study shows the technical feasibility of self-powered geothermal desalination of groundwater sources at <100 °C. A general method and framework are developed and then applied to specific case studies. First, the analysis considers an ideal limit to performance based on exergy analysis using generalised idealised assumptions. This thermodynamic limit applies to any type of process technology. Then, the analysis focuses specifically on the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) driving Reverse Osmosis (RO), as these are among the most mature and efficient applicable technologies. Important dimensionless parameters are calculated for the ideal case of the self-powered arrangement and semi-ideal case where only essential losses dependent on the RO system configuration are considered. These parameters are used to compare the performance of desalination systems using ORC-RO under ideal, semi-ideal and real assumptions for four case studies relating to geothermal sources located in India, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Turkey.

Approximately 70% of this global freshwater stock is locked up in polar icecaps and a major part of the remaining 30% lies in remote underground aquifers. In effect, only a miniscule fraction of freshwater (less than 1% of total freshwater or 0.007% of the total global water stock) that is available in rivers, lakes and reservoirs is readily accessible for direct human use. Geothermal energy is a Source of Renewable Energy and the Oceans are a Major Alternative Source of Water Just as the earth is an alternative source of energy to meet future demands, the oceans are an alternative water resource.

  • Use of Geothermal Energy for Seawater Desalination in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
    Orkustofnun, Grensasvegur 9, Reports 2015 IS-108 Reykjavik, Iceland Number 19 USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY FOR SEAWATER DESALINATION IN THE GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS, ECUADOR Andrés Lloret C. National Institute of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, INER Av. 6 de Diciembe N33-32 e Ignacion Bossano ECUADOR [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The lack of reliable sources of potable water is a health and social problem in the Galápagos. The presence of geothermal resources in the islands opens a window of opportunity for the development of a geothermal energy-driven desalination system. Analysis on the available research studies on three shield volcanoes located on the western side of Isabela Island, reveals that Alcedo Volcano presents the most active hydrothermal system with a liquid-dominated reservoir. This type of system is suitable to achieve the separation of nearly salt-free fresh water by implementing a Single Stage Flash Geothermal desalination system (SSF-G). The concept implies the use of geothermal brine from a separator unit as the heat input source for desalination, while producing electricity from the steam to power the plant totally detached from the grid. Results from a thermodynamic model and exergy analysis of the system, using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, show that the geothermal resource can be successfully coupled to this desalination method. It also reveals that most of the energy received from the well, exits the plant while still containing substantial exergy, which can be used to perform usable work by the system. As a result of irreversibilities, exergy destruction occurs in all the heat exchangers of the desalination process.
