A Hybrid System for Energy Efficient Water Production

Energy and water are the most significant two words in this and forthcoming centuries. Some unexpected phenomena caused by climate change as well as population explosion have contributed to exacerbating the water scarcity problem. Meanwhile, the population increase has also increased energy consumption. A large number of people in various areas are now concerned or physically feeling the lack of energy and water.    

A hybrid system is proposed for energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly water production. Rejected low temperature heat from power plants is utilized in water production process decreasing energy consumption in water production.
