The most significant challenge in integrating waste heat from a power plant into a thermal desalination plant is matching the temperature and availability of the waste heat source with the temperature and energy requirements of the desalination process. Thermal desalination processes, such as Multi-Stage Flash (MSF) and Multi-Effect Distillation (MED), require a specific temperature range for their heat input to operate efficiently. Power plants typically reject waste heat at various temperatures, often in the form of ....
