Fundamentals Of Salt Water Desalination By H T El Dessouky May 2026

Fundamentals of Salt Water Desalination by El-Dessouky & Ettouney is a masterpiece of thermal desalination engineering, but it is a specialized, technical monograph – not a light introduction. Two decades after publication, its core analysis remains the gold standard for MSF and MED. For reverse osmosis, look elsewhere.

If you work with – buy it without hesitation. If you need a modern, balanced desalination text covering RO and renewable integration, pair this with "Seawater Desalination: Conventional and Renewable Energy Processes" by Micale & Cipollina (2009) or the more recent "Desalination: Water from Water" by Kucera (2019).
