  1. Distilling and Purification Plants “Water, water everywhere…”

  2. Objectives • Comprehend the theory and operation of distilling plants including energy transformations that take place • Comprehend the different types of distilling plants • Comprehend the concepts of salinity monitoring and water conservation

  3. “Water, water everywhere… nor any drop to drink.” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge The Ancient Mariner “Wake up Aquaman!” - EM2(SS) Barrow USS Louisville (SSN 724)

  4. Fresh Water Uses • STEAM PLANT!!! • Electronics Cooling • Hotel Services • Cooking/Drinking • Laundry • (Showers) • Freshwater Washdown

  5. Important Concepts • Distillation: seawater freshwater • Evaporation • Condensation • Feed (seawater @ 35,000 ppm Cl-) • Distillate (<0.1 ppm Cl-) • Brine (>35,000 ppm Cl-) • Salinity (salt concentration in H20)

  6. Distillation Process

  7. Distilling Plant Types • Flash-Type • Vertical Basket • Vapor-Compression • Reverse-Osmosis

  8. Flash Type • Most combatants • High capacity (12,000 –50,000 GPD) • Distillate (<.065 ppm) • 150# Auxiliary Steam • Vacuum operation • More efficient • (-) soluble salts

  9. Flash Type

  10. Vertical Basket • Submarines • Similar to Flash type • Med. capacity (8,000 - 10,000 GPD) • Low Pressure (Auxiliary) Steam

  11. Vertical Basket

  12. Vapor-Compression • Ships without STEAM propulsion • Diesels and submarines (as backup) • Low capacity (4000 GPD) • Compresses generated steam using electricity

  13. Vapor-Compression

  14. Reverse-Osmosis • Distillate is <50 ppm • good enough to drink • but not for engineering plant feedwater • H2O migrates through semi-permeable membrane (salt is blocked) • High pressure req’s (400+ psia) • Multi-stage units preferred

  15. Reverse-Osmosis

  16. Salinity Monitoring • Salinity cells • Strategic placement throughout plant • Continuous remote monitoring of fresh water • Auto flow shutoff using solenoid valves

  17. Water Conservation • Limited resource • Standard “Navy shower” • Water hours

  18. Restrictions • Chemical Additives • Volatile Content • Geographic Restrictions
