Seawater desalination... Features Multi-Effect Distillation(MED). Vertical Tube Evaporation(VTE). Concrete Containment Shell. Aluminum Double-fluted Evaporator Tubes. Minimal Feedwater Pretreatment... This innovative seawater desalination technology consists of an enhanced multi-effect distillation process that involves a series of fluted aluminum tube bundles vertically stacked in a concrete vacuum tower. The advantages of the technology are based on the high heat transfer performance of the tube bundles and on the reduced cost of the construction materials. 5, record 3, English, - vertical%20tube%20evaporation
