Description
Summary:The aim of this work is to develop an ecologically safe energy efficient system of supplying water with production of light-water on the basis of a nuclear desalination complex with low-power reactors in order to solve the problem of water shortage, reduction of ecological load on the environment, and secure freshwater in regions where it is in short supply. A fundamentally new combined scheme of a water supply system with light-water produced on the basis of nuclear desalination and water circulation (recycling) using membrane and distillation methods is proposed. The system provides for maximum extraction of contaminants before the desalination stage by less expensive methods of purification, which decreases the load on desalination and makes it more efficient.
