Adsorption desalination : an emerging low-cost thermal desalination method by Ng, Kim Choon, Thu, Kyaw, Kim, Youngdeuk, Chakraborty, Anutosh, Amy, Gary

“…The energetic efficiency of AD cycles has been compared against the conventional desalination methods. Owing to the unique features of AD cycle, i.e., the simultaneous production of dual useful effects, it is proposed that the life cycle cost (LCC) of AD is evaluated against the LCC of combined machines that are needed to deliver the same quantities of useful effects using a unified unit of $/MWh. …”
