ABSTRACT
The design c! convent;?nal thermal desalination Jocationc, presents some unique and chailenging of the cotal facility must include, in addition
facilities problems.
for remote Copstt-uction
to the desalting plant, admi:ristration offices, power plant, staff living quarters, storage facil ities (product water and fuel 1, intake and outfall systems and all associated civil works. However, it does not stop Were. Complete maintenance and firefighting facilities and warehousing for the extensive spare parts required. must also be included. Finally, all facilitfes must be completely outfitted. In addition to this, the contractor must erect similar facilities for his, the owners, and engineers staffs, to be used during construction. It develops therefore, that the cost of the desalting plant proper will be a small portion of the costs for the complete job. This paper compares this conventional design with a barge mounted type. including fuel and product water storage and Al 1 plant requirements, living accommodations are contained within the barge limits. Typical designs are presented with cost comparison.
