Abstract: This work describes how the design and operation parameters of the Multi-Stage Flash (MSF) desalination process are optimised when the process is subject to variation in seawater temperature, fouling and freshwater demand throughout the day. A simple polynomial based dynamic seawater temperature and variable freshwater demand correlations are developed based on actual data which are incorporated in the MSF mathematical model using gPROMS models builder 3.0.3. In addition, a fouling model based on stage temperature is considered. The fouling and the effect of noncondensable gases are incorporated into the calculation of overall heat transfer co-efficient for condensers. Finally, an optimisation problem is developed where the total daily operating cost of the MSF process is minimised by optimising the design (no of stages) and the operating (seawater rejected flowrate and brine recycle flowrate) parameters.

ABSTRACT "Design Criteria of the oxidation ponds in Egypt and world wide" Oxidation ponds, known as waste stabilization ponds, have become one of the world’s most used methods of treating waste water in areas where there is large space for their construction. In addition, they are one of the most economical and environmentally friendly ways of treating wastewater and producing a highly purified effluent. They create a natural environment and utilize natural processes to treat wastewater contaminants and can include other systems such as constructed wetlands, septic tanks, lagoons and others. In this research present how to access to the best ways to design different oxidation ponds that are consistent with the Egyptian conditions of temperature, wind direction, the amount of treated water and study the nature of groundwater, soil characteristics and components, and the sun shining, the characteristics of the wastewater ponds, suitable form of ponds and method of operation optimization, construction and operating costs and the price of land, the fields of use of treated water and taking into account the characteristics of wastewater in Egypt, and which can be known by COD, BOD, TSS of the water where the properties of wastewater in Egypt is different from the rest of the world and present the principal considerations are taken during the design.
