Water treatment techniques employing solar energy are deemed attractive for producing fresh water from impotable water sources, including seawater, river/lake water and contaminated water, by safe and sustainable methods. Solar-driven desalination in the countries with hot and arid climate can employ abundant and free solar energy to produce freshwater from natural water sources, making this technology a promising one to solve the water scarcity problem. Besides, solar-driven zero liquid discharge (ZLD) desalination from waste brine water has recently emerged as a new important application of solar evaporation. Compared with conventional ZLD desalination technologies, solar-driven ZLD desalination produces solid salt as the only byproduct and uses sunlight as the only energy source, making it less energy intensive, more cost-effective, and affordable. This paper considers a concept of a small self-powered solar-driven multi-stage ZLD desalination plant based on film evaporation drums and having a desalination capacity of up to 8000 liters of freshwater per day. 3D plant model: https://grabcad.com/library/self-powe...
