Economic Analysis of Off-Grid Reverse Osmosis Desalination: A Case Study in Chabahar, Iran

Reaching fresh water in Chabahar city (the only oceanic port in Iran) has some serious difficulties. It would be possible to utilize water desalination system in the Chabahar to provide its demand of water as it is located near the Gulf of Oman. According to the area’s urgent need of water and lack of proper power system, in this paper, techno-economic analyze of reverse osmosis (RO) water desalination system in Chabahar city is presented.
