Direct contact membrane distillation for treatment of oilfield produced water (2014, unknown): “018 $/m Operating labor cost (c) [52,46] 0.”
Evaluating the costs of desalination and water transport (2005, background): “Although there is substantial scope for economizing on the consumption of water without affecting its service level, the main response to water scarcity has been to increase the supply.”
Techno-economic analysis of MED and RO desalination powered by low-enthalpy geothermal energy (2015, methodology): “Desalination processes are characterized as energy intensive, so with the rise of awareness for fossil fuels' finite reserves and their adverse impacts on global climate, the concept of renewable energy desalination (RED) has been introduced [1–4].”
Economic analysis of desalination technologies in the context of carbon pricing, and opportunities for membrane distillation (2013, methodology): “is known that for thermally driven desalination processes MSF and MED, the capital cost of the large metallic evaporators is very high, in the range of 40% to 50% of the total cost of water produced [1–9].”
An operational and economic study of a reverse osmosis desalination system for potable water and land irrigation (2016, background): “The contract agreement establishes the land cost, whichmay vary from zero to an agreed lump sum according to the site characteristics [54].”
Technical review and evaluation of the economics of water desalination: Current and future challenges for better water supply sustainability (2013, methodology): “Land cost depends on the contract agreement and may vary from zero to an agreed lump sum depending on the site characteristics [35].”
