Abstract
This paper describes the performance analysis of desalination system in the Fiji island where is one of suitable sites proposed for the desalination. On December 12-18, 2003, December 4-6, 1999, December 3-5, 1998, December 3-4, 1997 and December 5-7, 1996 investigations of marine metrology, such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen rate and submarine cross section was carried out by a research ship of the National Fisheries University. A conventional design for the desalination system is conducted with these data. The consuming electric power per product water is used as an objective function. A desalination rate of 1,000 tons per day using plate-type heat exchangers has been reported. Approximate correlation for a objective function is obtained.
