Twenty Years of Progress in Seawater Desalination at NCEL.

Abstract

This report contains a history of the seawater desalination work at Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory, Port Hueneme, California (NCEL) and includes the contributions made by NCEL in the development of equipment. Background information is provided for the development of the latest vapor compression distillation unit which incorporates several new design features. A review of past work indicates changes in the type of work and progress in the state-of-the-art in this field during recent years. A brief history for the period 1950-1959 is available and the information has been included in this report for completeness. The development program associated with the test and evaluation of equipment and the basic research work associated with desalination equipment features are detailed. (Author)
