Abstract
The presentwork is a description of a proposed systemfor seawater desalination. The suggested systemoperates
basically the same as the MSF system operates but uses high pressurized saturated water. The system operating
pressure through all stages of the system and the final stage pressure are higher than atmospheric pressure.
The system is simple and easy to construct. No need for high operation maintenance or high technical stuff in
operation. No need for vacuum pumps because it operates at pressure higher than atmospheric pressure which
also makes the system starts to operate fast and easy. The seawater could bewith any quality or grade even brackish
water could be used so no need for seawater pretreatment. The system could also be run by solar energy through
replacing heat exchanger with a solar collector according to operating pressure and assigned saturated temperature.
Energy consumption and production cost are promising even if system uses electricity as heat source.
