Abstract

Various countries worldwide are known to face water scarcity problems. Seawater desalination is one of the solutions used to solve water scarcity issues in Spain and the Gulf Cooperation Council (CCC) states. These countries use three main water desalination technologies, namely, multi-effect distillation, multi-stage flash (MSF) and reverse osmosis (RO) desalination. Several factors must be considered to choose the most appropriate desalination technology for each country. In this paper, the analytical hierarchy process was employed to select adequate desalination technologies for Spain and the GCC countries by considering results obtained from a survey of experts in the field. This study found that the most suitable technologies for Spain and the GCC countries are RO and MSF, respectively.
