Abstract

See full text

The hydrogen-powered desalination plant is a multi-stage flash desalination system using hydrogen fuel to power the top brine heater of the plant. The hydrogen-powered desalination plant includes a plurality of flash distillation stages, which each include a flash chamber and a condenser. The top brine heater in the hydrogen-powered desalination plant is powered by the carbon-free combustion of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas. The combustion of the hydrogen gas with the oxygen gas creates a flame, which is used directly to generate steam from atomized seawater, any seawater not converted to steam being collected as preheated brine and passed to the multi-stage flash desalination system for successive stages of flash distillation. Preferably, the flame is generated as a vortex.
