Abstract
The scope of this article is to provide a solution for the challenge against more popularity of multi-stage flash distillation applications compared to membrane processes in brackish water desalination. Adequate integration of exist 197 ton per hour MSFD unit and solar direct steam generation technology has been considered as an alternative renewable energy source to achieve solar LP steam. So, as the result of this modification, in each of three units, 17.8 MW of fossil energy is replaced by solar energy during day time. The rate of produced steam is 327,800 ton per year. The amount of natural gas saving is 25,041 ton and this leads to reduction in CO2 production up to 78680 ton per year.
