AbstractThe study deals with membrane process and solar distillation their applicability cost comparison and impact assessment. For large scale production distillation like multistage flash and vertical tube evaporation are the most suitable. For medium scale production and for brackish water electrodialysis and reverse osmosis are more suitable. For small quantities solar distillation is more economical. Solar stills are especially suited to supply drinking water f or small communities, requiring up to 200 m ํ/d. Bence solar distillation and applicability tor small scale water production is studied at length. The impact of disposed brine to surroundings is also studied.
