ABSTRACT:
A multi-stage distillation plant consisting essentially of a multi-flash evaporator provided with a multi-flash chamber which is divided into a heat recovery section and a heat rejection section. In this multi-stage flash distillation plant, the aforesaid flash evaporator is provided with a deaerator for deaerating cold sea water, a thickener for separating brine containing a relatively great amount of seeds, from concentrated brine which has been extracted from a front chamber of the final stage flash chamber, and a seed mixing tank for obtaining a seed-mixed brine, whereby part of the sea water which has passed through the deaerator is supplied as a feed sea water to the rear chamber of the final stage flash chamber, while the brine containing a relatively great amount of seed and extracted from the thickener is joined to the seed-mixed brine fed from the seed mixing tank. Thus, the confluent brine thus joined together is discharged for deaeration into the final stage flash chamber from a distributor provided in the rear chamber thereof. According to another aspect of the invention, the aforesaid deaerator is omitted and the feed sea water which has not been subjected to deaeration is joined to the aforesaid confluent brine and is discharged for deaeration from the distributor.
