The process most widely used to desalt sea-water is known as multistage flash distillation. [In] this process ... the seawater is heated and then introduced into a chamber where the pressure is sufficiently low to cause some of the water to boil instantly -or to flash- into steam. The brine that did not vaporize flows to the next chamber where the pressure is lower than in the previous chamber, and the flashing process is repeated. 1, record 1, English, - multistage%20flash%20distillation

Le procédé de distillation par détentes successives, appelé aussi multiflash ou encore procédé éclair à effets multiples ou polyétagé, consiste à faire passer l'eau de mer à distiller dans une série de chambres, la pression et la température diminuant d'une chambre à l'autre. L'eau se vaporise très rapidement dès son entrée dans chaque chambre, en raison de la diminution de pression. 1, record 1, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20de%20distillation%20par%20d%C3%A9tentes%20successives

Una destilación de flash en una sola etapa generalmente produce un vapor que es sólo algo más rico en los constituyentes de menor temperatura de ebullición que la alimentación. Un mayor enriquecimiento se puede alcanzar mediante una serie de destilaciones de flash en las que el vapor de una etapa se condensa y se somete nuevamente a flash. 1, record 1, Spanish, - destilaci%C3%B3n%20de%20flash%20en%20m%C3%BAltiple%20etapa
