Weinberg, J

The use of high-efficiency low-temperature evaporators, alone or in conjunction with reverse osmosis plants, is a cost effective means of reducing power station effluent volumes by a factor of up to 1:200, depending on the initial effluent TDS, while recycling distilled water for boiler feed and cooling tower makeup. The key to this economy is use of low grade or waste heat, advanced heat transfer surface configurations, and low cost heat transfer surface materials. 4 references, 6 figures, 3 tables.
