Economic Considerations

  • Chapter
Book cover Seawater and Desalting

Abstract

The reliability and availability of water systems including desalination units were examined, using fault tree logic and field data whenever possible. An assessment is made of factors impacting availability and safety of MSF desalination plants. The emphasis has been on integrating the plant into a water supply system such, that the district fresh water requirements are met or exceeded. Required equipment reliability is a function of the system design characteristics and the expected demand. Failure models of MSF desalination systems and reliability data on desalination equipment can be conveniently incorporated into estimates of unit effectiveness. MSF desalination equipment reliability and maintainability problems can be analyzed using existing availability methodology [1].
