Cogeneration power-desalination mobile floating plant applied on supply vessel

Abstract EN

The main objective of this research is to study the supply of both electrical power and potable water through a proposed desalination plant applied on the supply vessels.

Fresh water produced will be used for drinking, cleaning and washing purposes contributing to the high demand consumption particularly on board ships.

The main idea for proposed plant is to use the renewable energy to produce both power and fresh water which are the main problems in coastal desert.

The fresh water generator incorporated in the ship propulsion plant will result in better exploiting the waste heat carried out by cooling water or scavenging air and hence the plant overall thermal efficiency increased by 20%.
