A multi-stage-flash desalination plant of relative small performance with an integrated pressurized water reactor as a nuclear heat source

Description

In the Krupp-GKSS joint study MINIPLEX the requirements for seawater-desalination-plants with a performance in the range of 10,000 to 80,000 m3/d heated by a nuclear reactor are investigated. The reactor concept is similar to the integrated pressurized water reactor (IPWR) of the nuclear ship OTTO HAHN. The calculated costs of the desalinated water show, that due to the fuel cost advantages of reactors small and medium nuclear desalination plants are economically competetive with oil-fired plants since the steep rise of oil price in autumn 1973.

Abstract (German)

In einer gemeinsamen Krupp/GKSS-Studie werden die Anforderungen an Meerwasserentsalzungsanlagen im Leistungsbereich 10.000-80.000 m3 Destillat pro Tag in Verbindung mit einem Reaktor als nuklearer Energiequelle untersucht. Das verwendete Reaktorkonzept ist dem integrierten Druckwasserreaktor des nuklearen Forschungsschiffes OTTO HAHN aehnlich. Wirtschaftlichkeitsrechnungen zeigen, dass die Wassergestehungskosten an der oberen Grenze des betrachteten Leistungsbereichs nicht hoeher als bei konventionell befeuerten Anlagen vergleichbarer Groesse sind.
