摘要
For the last 40 years, Kuwait has fully depended, for its freshwater supplies on seawater desalination using multistage flash (MSF) technology. During these years, Kuwait has gained wide experience in the operation and maintenance of MSF distillation plants. This paper outlines the historical development of MSF plants in Kuwait and presents a summary of the experience gained over the years concerning plant operation and maintenance.
