Abstract
The object of this work is the evaluation of performance of solar still. This work represents the performance of a solar desalination still as a second stage of proposed zero discharge desalination processes to reach fresh water and also concentrated brine from the effluent wastewater of the desalination unit of the Mobin petrochemical complex. Therefore a solar desalination still is constructed after a pretreatment unit to concentrate the softened wastewater to about 20 weight percent. The concentrated wastewater is as a suited feed for a forced circulation crystallizer. During one year, the effects of major parameters such as ambient temperature and solar insolation rate are investigated, experimentally.
