Distillation processes are ...

Distillation processes are not sensitive to seawater quality. A 0.5mm filtration, a chlorination and a suitable anti-scale and anti-foam treatment will be sufficient to guarantee a steady water quality versus time, particularly with the low temperature MED process. Bacteria and pathogenic organisms are generally destroyed by these processes. Distilling pollutants are the only ones to create a problem when mixing with condensed vapour, if a seawater screening solution is not set up in due time.
