Opis

This book covers modeling, simulation, and adaptive control of a multi-stage flash (MSF) seawater desalination plant. It outlines the principles of MSF desalination and highlights the importance of the various control systems for large MSF plants. Topics include a satisfactory dynamical model of the plant, an optimal method of approximating the

O autorze

Abraha Woldai received his PhD from the University of Bath, UK in 1997. From 1985 to 1999, he worked in the Water and Electricity Department, Government of Abu Dhabi, in various areas. From 1989 to 1999, he participated in the development of the modeling, simulation, and validation of data for MSF desalination plants on behalf of the Directorate of Power and Desalination Plants, Water and Electricity Department, Government of Abu Dhabi, and the International Foundation for Water Science and Technology in the field of desalination plant control. In addition, Dr. Woldai has authored/coauthored several research papers on power and desalination.
