Popis:	The two major thermal processes which are employed in large scale desalination plants are MSF (multi-stage flash) and MED-TVC (multi-effect distillation coupled with thermal vapor compression). This chapter provides a brief description on these processes, their performances and challenges. The operational and design developments which have been associated with the thermal desalination processes are explained. Salient features of conventional power water cogeneration cycles in which the MSF/MED-TVC distillation plant operates are highlighted. Challenges that have to be addressed to enhance developments of thermal desalination processes such as introduction of innovative methods to reduce specific energy consumption are also discussed.
