Desalination of seawater is vital to the development and growth of many countries in the world including Saudi Arabia. Numerous processes have been proposed for this purpose, but only a few of these have attained important commercial status. Multiple-effect distillation(MED), multiple-stage flash distillation (MSF) and reverse osmosis (RO) are being used now for seawater desalination.Vapor compression, freeze separation and solar distillation have been less developed and are limited to very special cases. Saudi Arabia has gained a valuable experience, with large M.S.F. and R.O. plants, which is proving to be useful in designing new ones. This paper discusses the various seawater desalination methods, the Saudi Arabian experience with seawater desalination and the prospects of utilizing solar energy in seawater desalination.
